Myrtle Beach, S.C., is known for its family resorts, picturesque golf courses and big and noisy motorcycle rallies. That last distinction is one city leaders would just as soon do without.
The city is trying to scale back rallies that bring hundreds of thousands of bikers to town. One way they’re doing it is by enforcing a city helmet law in a state where bikers have the right to go bareheaded.
South Carolina is one of a handful of states on the East Coast where it’s legal for adults to ride without a helmet. Tired of the noise and constant partyers, Myrtle Beach passed a mandatory-helmet law for all bikers.
