VANCOUVER, Wash. — All bicycle riders would have to wear a safety helmet under a law in the works before the Vancouver City Council.

The regulation would require helmets for all riders and passengers on bicycles, skateboards, roller blades, roller skates and unicycles on all roads, sidewalks and trails.

Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, already have laws requiring helmets for all bicyclists.

The city is following up on recommendations made by the Clark County Youth Commission, said Jan Bader, program and policy development manager for the city.

The City Council has not set a date so far for voting on the revised ordinance but it could come sometime late next month.
