Imaging a scenario where I'd use the bike share, it'd almost definitely be while traveling TO Seattle, but not bringing my bike. Clip a helmet to my bag and I'm good to go. In fact, that's what I'd do anyway. Law or not.
Rental helmets are available for our Brisbane bikeshare scheme.
Still struggling.
And despite the fact that people would have no problem with a "rental hemet" for rock climbing, sky diving, horse riding etc etc etc, it continues to be brought up as a reason why people will not use the bike share program.
