SAFETY IN
NUMBERS.
FREEDOM IN MOTION.
Australia's draconian mandatory helmet laws increase road injuries and deaths, because they mean less bike usage and more car usage.
More car usage means more car crashes, more danger to bike riders, and more head injuries.
It also means more congestion, more pollution, more noise, worse streets, and worse health from inactivity.
Health, safety and injury prevention comes from more people riding bikes, and from safer infrastructure, not from criminalising bike riders.
BETTER BIKESHARE CAMPAIGN
Public bikeshare schemes are transforming cities for the better everywhere else, but are failing in Australia due to mandatory helmet laws and unsafe infrastructure.
We're seeking a helmet exception for bikeshare, along with a commitment from state government for a network of safe bike lanes.
