I live and work in Cambridge, UK, where we have US-style H&S liability culture gone insane.<BR/><BR/>In all your photos, not one cyclist is wearing a cycle helmet, yet the Cambridge local authority here will not publish any 'promotional' cycling material with a cyclist in it, if they are not wearing a cycle helmet and 'appropriate clothing'.<BR/><BR/>That means no scarves, long coats, riding with one hand, dark clothing and should include hi-viz clothing.<BR/><BR/>Here in the UK, cycling is presented as a highly hazardous activity, with the need to wear protective gear or else you'll be held partly liable for your injuries if a driver runs you down.<BR/><BR/>It is insane and getting worse each year. Copenhagen sounds fantastic - what's the catch?<BR/><BR/>http://www.polaine.com/matt/2008/11/28/cycling-uk-hs-hysteria-versus-copenhagen-chic/MattPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130303798125076584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-2451915735074961792008-11-21T14:35:00.000+01:002008-11-21T14:35:00.000+01:00your post its too interesting for girls who always...your post its too interesting for girls who always wear hats, like meGratistotalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420741342864943987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-3191548202637604062008-11-20T19:04:00.000+01:002008-11-20T19:04:00.000+01:00Hats rule!

I was there in August and visited the Supremes exhibit. Looking at the Fashion v. Sport exhibit, it looked a bit too, uh, butch for my tastes. But the hat exhibit looks fab! I should be back to London before May and will endeavor to go. Yay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
