What kind of helmets? My cycling buddy Pete Rawlinson was shot in the

more important concerns, like armed robbery, AIDS and Zimbabwe.

Not sure the legislation only says protective helmets. No further

Yes, SA does have more important things to worry about.

Apart from the fact that at least half the public using bicycles,
can't afford a helmet.
