On a beautiful spring day in Amsterdam,cycling through Vondel Park.I snapshot this picture.Every country has it's laws and rules. In Western Australia it is compulsory to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle.The Police can stop you, give you a warning and issue you with a fifty dollar fine ,depending on their mood. Either way you would have to push your bicycle the rest of the way with the police keeping a close eye on you.It does tend to take the joy out of riding,somehow you don't feel quite as free wearing a helmet.
I love the Dutch system, the freedom to express yourself,without the worry minded establishment busily imposing rules and regulations that can take the joy out of such a simple pleasure.Riding a bicycle in Amsterdam is great fun!
