Bike lanes are more common than they used to be, but still far from being on every road... but what's this about mandatory helmets? On checking they are still 'advisory' here, though it is a damn good idea to wear one now. There's simply a lot more cars than there used to be. I prefer to ride off-road now, I really don't feel safe on the roads anymore. England is still not a very cycle friendly country.

I think the discussion is going on in many countries... about the helmets, and the Diaspora bike enthusiasts are equally pissed about helmets in NZ. It is of course safer to wear one, but the argument is about why cyclists have to wear it when all data shows that pedestrians and car-drivers would benefit just as much from a helmet.
