It got a lot of praise which is especially cool considering how many people in Tokyo (and Japan) already commute by bike.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434824041389510699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-29919826565020527612010-07-24T10:21:59.552+01:002010-07-24T10:21:59.552+01:00I believe in Mexico City they relaxed the helmet l...I believe in Mexico City they relaxed the helmet laws in order to make the bike share scheme work. Unfortunately, I believe we need our scheme to fail in order to bring the politicians to their senses. They won't change the law otherwise. I'm sure you'll be able to read all about it in Copenhagenize ,as Michael Colville-Andersen is currently here in Melbourne. regards,Ianian_rm27https://www.blogger.com/profile/16540292911802463405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-54774044048886246272010-07-23T13:43:26.444+01:002010-07-23T13:43:26.444+01:00Hi Q smith.

It takes away the spontaneity of people just having a go. Do you think they should relax the helmet laws?Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422407561211227655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-20206520495031226702010-07-21T22:34:00.994+01:002010-07-21T22:34:00.994+01:00That's great!

Sadly, I believe we will have the unenviable distinction of being the first city to have such a scheme fail. Hope yours fares better.Happy cycling~ian, Melbourneian_rm27https://www.blogger.com/profile/16540292911802463405noreply@blogger.com
