    I take my hat off to Cadel - he has finally become the poster boy for all cyclists in Australie. If it is OK for Cadel and his kid to ride a bike bike sans helmet, it must surely be OK for everyone else in Oz to ride lidless too.

    And maybe Spain soon. The right wing government is trying to introduce a mandatory cycle helmet law. There is a petition against this on change.org at:

      Thanks for that, coshgirl! - I've been straight there to sign it!

      - god knows why any government would go down this pathway when they only need look at the disastrous state of transport affairs in Australian cities?????

      *sigh*

    wouldn't he have the book thrown at him if this happened in Australia? It is a beautiful video, great smiles and Cadel looks truly proud.

    Don't know if you've heard about this Sue, but Bradley Wiggins called for compulsory cycle helmets yesterday after a cyclist was killed by a media bus near the Olympic Park. Don't know why journos ask a racing cyclist about general cycle safety on the roads, they don't ask racing drivers about general driving do they?

      ...total madness - why did he allow himself to become involved? - though seems like he's retracted his mandatory helmet law position now
