Strangely it says that the number of cyclists in the inner city has
doubled since 1997 which directly contradicts the anti-helmet argument
that says bike usage has declined since the introduction of helmets. Oh
well, you get that!

NB: THIS IS A TROLL <-- for those who are blind...

Oh dear, another helmeted troll...

I don't know if this has already been discussed but I thought it was
interesting. Mainly discusses the level of bike usage in Melbourne.

Yeah if you take data out of context. Survey was between 1997 and 2003.
Helmet compulsion was introduced in 1991.

It's good that cycling is increasing. It would have been better if it
hadn't declined by a third in 1991. Oh well, you get that.
