On your bike now, if you please | Courier Mail

On your bike now, if you please | Courier Mail: "FIRST the British and now the Spanish have joined the European chorus declaring compulsory bike helmets may not be the best thing for our wellbeing after all.

This is good news for Brisbane City Council's flagging CityCycle scheme and even better news for those among us who would love to use a CityCycle but don't happen to be carrying a helmet when the urge strikes.

A British Medical Journal poll of its readers - remembering their readers are doctors - revealed many believed compulsory cycle helmets potentially deterred people from taking up cycling and meant many didn't get the health benefits of added exercise."
