I'm currently situated in Victoria, having previously lived in Beijing, Halifax, Chilliwack, Calgary, Vancouver and growing up in Northwestern Ontario. My aim with photography is...
Slavery? Wow! what a stretch!
However, I do like the states that don't have helmet laws (some do, some don't) when I ride my motorcycle even though I still wore a helmet 95% of the time. Sometimes I just want to take a ride in the neighborhood without a lid. And this is coming from a guy that wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for a helmet...
BTW- cool photo! :)
haha great find... ah the ignorance... and there I am teaching my boys how important it is to wear the helmets even though its a battle every time we go on bikes...
@jgoldrup Helmets have been compulsory here for many, many years. Back when I was in uni I used to work in a bicycle shop and some days the local police would set up a little intercept site near the corner and stop peeps of all ages without helmets. They'd give them the choice of a $30 fine and walk the bike home or go into the bike shop and buy a helmet. We kept a big bin of $25 helmets (couldn't find them cheaper) right near the door and on those days we made a killing ;o)
