A recent study said that only 18% of Capital Bike Share users wear helmets. How would you encourage helmet use among riders?

Knock them off their bike as they ride on the narrow sidewalks while not using the bike lanes set aside from them. That'll learn them to wear a helmet.

What? If it worked for me, it'll work for them.

Shame them!

Speed up.

I would hit them over the head with a bat. I have been guilty of the quick, spontaneous, helmet-less Capital Bike Share ride, but if I plan ahead, I always wear a helmet.

Luckily, we don't need to encourage it. Natural selection will slowly ween non-helmet riders from the population. In a few thousand years all the people who don't wear bike helmets will be gone.

I would give them a little tappy tap with the old bumper of the car like I am tempted to do every morning as I have to stare at their arses as they make me even that much later to work.

Nothing. Thin the herd.

In California you get a 20 dollar ticket for not wearing a helmet.

I am a little concerned by these answers.

Good call Darwin. If we really wanted to put natural selection to work, we'd have to kill the helmetless riders' children.
