Freestyle Cyclists will be going helmet free on the 16th of March across the country, for our third annual “stop fining healthy transport” protest ride. Rides are happening in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth. Rides commence around 11.00am.
Please help show your support for reform of Australia’s unique anti-cycling helmet laws.”
