There are many worse ways to spend tax dollars.
It's not like this money was specifically oriented to give away helmets as some sort of wealth redistribution....
DOT likely has budget to raise awareness and promote safe riding among citizens of the USA... This event did just that. I give props to the DOT for holding an event like this as I feel it's much more valuable than running an expensive TV commercial.
