We've been to Hel(met) and back in the last week! The rights and wrongs of wearing bicycle helmets have been passionately discussed in the paper (mostly online) and on radio over the last couple of weeks. Fact is it is illegal not to.
Question is whether the law is justified by facts. And while police must uphold the law, how is it rational that the police themselves ride quad bikes on the road without helmets? Read about it HERE.
The sexy Swedish solution to cycling safely with hair investment intact is the Hovding airbag collar. Thanks to the Daily for finding fashion for feminine freedom.
Had enough of that? Have a look at THIS from Sweden.
And in London THIS .
Now all we need is for the RACQ to develop a roadside service for fully frocked females with flat tyres and flipped chains.
The previous blog post on the subject has a link to some research on the subject of whether helmets reduce injuries, check it out.
