Canadians and Australians are fortunate to have vast land, but it leads people to live big and consume more unfortunately.<br /><br />I added a link to your blog and I will keep an eye on your cause. I hope you have success in encouraging your politicians to rescind your helmet law and encourage more people to cycle over there.<br /><br />Cheers!James D.
