I cycle in the UK and don't wear a helmet because I do not want too. On
my forthcoming cycle tour in Australia I understand it is a law for
cyclists to wear them. Whilst I accept that it isn't a good idea to
deliberately flout laws whilst in a foriegn country, I was wondering to
what extent I am likely to be pulled over by the police and fined for
not wearing one? Is it more acceptable to ride helmetless in country
areas rather than in Melbourne?
Alternatively, do all cyclists obey this law, much like motorcyclists?
If so, then I suppose I will get one. Do you have any recommendations
for the cheapest and most unobtrusive helmet available?
Cheers
