How do you manage to feel the wind in your hair? I thought you had to
wear a magic hat where you live?

Yes we do. *However exemptions are possible.
I have one. *So I have had many amiable conversations with the police
down the years.


Well done - I'm impressed that your police show some common sense.

I have one.


Exemptions are possible on grounds of:
* religious beliefs
* physical disability
* medical conditions and other such reasonable grounds.

Is having no balls classed as a suitable physical disability?

On the other hand I suppose it is difficult to wear a helmet if your head is
stuck up your arse.


Which one was it?

Most cyclists would have trouble with their halo.

Yes, now they are.
I must admit that riding without a magic hat gives me a very good
indication of the amount (or at present lack) of enforcement activity
against this very stupid law.
Incidentally, official propaganda about bicycling and safety now puts
wearing a helmet near the bottom of the list, if it is mentioned at all!
Also information on bicycling events, "fun rides" etc now very rarely
mention that "helmets must be warn"
But knowing the ****wit New Zealand mentality I very much doubt that this
utterly stupid counterproductive law will be repealed soon.
