I'd happily take a hacksaw to my handlebars if I could move to the "nanny state".

 

I suspect most saffers on the hub will agree, even though the cool kids won't admit it. :D

I'd love to visit for a short while. Surf the gold coast. But that's it.

Australia's particular brand of culture never really appealed to me. 

I really should go too. So much family in Sydney.

Whenever they're in SA they moan about us not visiting them.

But if I ever have the opportunity to go visit.

I'd probably choose to go somewhere else...

We are a funny bunch. We all scream that we want stricter rules that need to be enforced. Then we laugh at those who do it.

 

I would gladly sacrifice 20mm on my MTB handle bars in exchange for the law enforcement that they have.

So, what's the danger with wide bars on MTB's riding offroad trails, if any?

Is this law restricted to public roads perhaps? Just curious.

I need my extra 60, or 80 mm cant remember, on my handle bars.I am kinda an outsized guy , now i gotta ride a MTB in Aus that has aero width roadbike bars. :thumbdown:

Think the Aussies are using it to mess with imports. Australia first........
