A proposed citywide bicycle network in Gold Coast, Australia, could be derailed after it emerged that there was no system on the market providing both bikes and helmets.
The bike exchanges used in European cities including Paris, Lyon and Barcelona, do not require helmets. But in Queensland, all cyclists must wear helmets.
