It is official now, the Myrtle Beach Helmet Ordinance is headed straight to the SC Supreme Court thanks to the 49 freedom riders who rode in the rain February 28, 2009. The SC Supreme Court ruling will be final. Victory for bikers and citizens is expected. The City of Myrtle Beach will not be able to appeal.

Stay tuned for more information and updates.

Please share this information with other interested bikers.

I hope it will be a victory for riders, I would like to go back in the fall and not get fined for riding with no helmet, keep us posted

As much as i have enjoyed previous trips to MB i would be reluctant to ever go back, even if the city loses their a**.

That is what I heard. They posted BIG TIME on the net in an attempt to get all that they could to attend. They weren't going to be forced out by a stupid helmet ordinance. BBW was originally Atlantic Bike Week which is North of Myrtle, that WAS their ground zero.

I love it, the Atlantic Beach city administration is proposing an additional rally in fall....two BBW events. The city of MB is going to get what they deserve.

Having spent a little time in the area a month or so ago speaking with the locals I now have a different point of view on the matter. I kept hearing complaints of the crime more so than the general bike population. It SOUNDS like it is the crews that come in for the events that aren't on bikes that are causing a majority of the trouble. Again this is just what we heard while visiting the various places. With that said I agree, the area needs to gain control and allow the events to progress under their control. How Myrtle went about it was all wrong without a doubt.
