My libertarian streak makes me think this is a bad law, however anyone that
wears earphones playing music while cycling on a road shared with other
vehicles is quite foolish.
A modest proposal: Perhaps there should be a law that requires anyone
injured while engaging in this particularly stupid activity should only get
medical treatment if they pay for it themselves. This would achieve the
goal of protecting the public at large from this person's poor judgement but
would not infringe on individual freedom with the only goal of "protecting
people from themselves".
Please do not respond unless you agree with me.
Ready, set, and go.
