They have even looked at collapsible cardboard helmets from France!105 subscriptions in August down from 135 in July. (a day pass counts as a subscrition)Of over 120 such schemes around the world,Melbourne's is the only one with compulsory helmets laws and still the government refuses to budge.6 months?~12 at the outside,<br /><br />regards,<br /><br />Ianian_rm27https://www.blogger.com/profile/16540292911802463405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090991993980511979.post-34306001302934011732010-08-31T07:49:14.011+10:002010-08-31T07:49:14.011+10:00Mark,
