Do I need a helmet for this?

If you are driving a motorcycle, motorbike, pedal bike, pogo-stick, four-wheeler or anything else with out a seatbelt the answer is yes.  South Africa and every other country in Africa as of July 2009 does have a mandatory helmet law.  Locals may be driving around without the helmets and the law may not be enforced but it is there.  As a socially conscious business Nomadic Nation promotes the use of helmets and other approved safety gear and expects all "citizens" to abide by this.
