Australians will no longer be fined for wearing religious headwear instead of a helmet while
bike riding in Canberra, under new rules aimed at making cycling more inclusive. The
exemption, which came into effect quietly in December, was introduced after a Canberra man wrote to ACT Road Safety Minister Shane Rattenbury with a problem. Sikhs struggle to wear standard bike helmets over their turban, an important religious symbol. The decision brings the ACT in line with Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia, which all have similar regulations in place.
