In the wake of bicycle helmet laws many cyclists have found themselves stereotyped as protesters. It all stems from bicycle helmets became fashionable with the "take over Wall Streeters" and then were very conspicuous at all of the pre Covid protests (riots) ............ in Minneapolis bicyclists were often detained by police because they were wearing helmets AND in the vicinity of civil disturbances > the LEOs considered them potential rioters
