| There is enough legislation from the nanny state without adding to it, IMHO.
What next, his vis vests, separate medical insurance, only CE approved clothing, compulsory leg protectors back on the agenda, speed limiters, etc etc,
Sure, I cringe myself when I see some bike come tooling past on the autostrada with a "naturist" on board, or maybe a semi clad pillion hanging on, but hey ho, live and let live.
I do find it mildly amusing when I tootle down town on a motorbike with jeans and trainers, you can almost hear the tut of disapproval when a bike comes the other way. No such tut when I tool down town on peddle bike though at similar speeds??
Are the risks so different? TBH I feel more vulnerable on the peddle bike than I do on the motorbike.
