We aqre keen that those who come ride the Mixis as we are calling them. otherwise, the message that this scheme wont survive with compulsory helmets, and that despite faults, it’s valuable, will get lost. Mike

Keen to be there for the helmet less ride. I think i will ride my own bike because i would also like to ‘protest’ that the bike share system is a poor cousin of what it should be. Adding in the requirement for helmets just makes this a political stunt.

I’d like to publicise the helmetless bike hire ride. We put out an rides calendar that reaches 500 people, and have other networks that we could use to publicise such a ride.

All I need is a place and time, please let me know ASAP.

Sorry, I can’t make the ride nor Mikael’s talk as I have to be somewhere else (unless the wind is very big and a sailing race is cancelled).

See you in Melbourne, Mike.

I’m looking forward to the helmet-less ride. It would be great to gather a great deal of people to do the same but it is hard to ask people to deliberately break the law and pay a fine – kudos to anyone that does though!

Cheers,
