... Dr Dorothy Robinson's concern, instead, is bicycle safety. She has
just published a study in the Health Promotion Journal of Australia that
is likely to send shock waves through Australian cycling communities
with its claim that mandatory bicycle helmet laws increase rather than
decrease the likelihood of injuries to cyclists.

Personally I'd still use a helmet in winter 'cause it's a handy place to
put lights :-) Summer I'd leave the lid behind and wear a sun hat.


Dr Robinson still cycling in her satin flaired trousers , platform
shoes and floral paisley top must be a sight to behold. I wouldn't
admit to still owning the clothes I wore in 1971 let alone claim to
wear them
