> If I was a staff rider, I'd be putting that helmet on and telling Pedal Me to eat an OSHA-sized bag of dicks if they have a problem with it.

And then they would fire you and you will have to find a company that allow helmets and everyone will be happy

In the case of pedal.me, they do.

We can downgrade from OSHA to class action lawyers with this kind of thinking. Seriously why not require helmets and hire for safety, too?
