It is true that the Soviet-style BC Insurance Corp supports BC's helmet
law but it alone did not engineer the helmet law. It was life-style
control freaks - modern day Puritans - who hate to see anyone else
enjoying themselves that formed the coalition with ignorant Soviet/NDP
commissars and forced the law through.  Some of them were on the Board
of Cycling BC. It was a blatant sell out of BC cyclists by an
unrepresentative cycling establishment.
