For all those people who like to talk about how in Europe they don't wear helmets, apparently some people are trying to change that.

You've gotta love those Danes. Great idea. Did you notice that they only stopped men (or did I not watch closely enough?).

This was subsequently exposed as being staged. Actual police were not stopping actual unsuspecting cyclists, apparently.

If they had to stage the cyclists to make it appear better on camera that works for me. Still a great idea.

It was staged by a automotive concern trying to highlight the dangers of cycling on the road. Here's a link to the counter-statement to that video: http://gsocycle.blogspot.com/2009/05/viral-videos.html

I don't think it was an automotive concern, I think it was the ,a href="http://www.copenhagenize.com/2009/04/danish-helmet-propaganda.html">Danish Cycle Federation.. It doesn't really change much if it was staged does it?
