Dog on a bike
- Location
- Welling
So today in London it's quite nice (bleeding marvellous actually!!) so every man, woman and dog was commuting by bike this morning which meant I saw a few (all going in the opposite directon natch apart from two). Out of all these cyclists I saw 6 RLJs. One did stop but he was so far in front of the stop line across the pedestrian crossing and on the corner of the junction that it counts as an RLJ (he was wearing headphones*). Of the 6, 5 were wearing helmets. If we discount the BSO rider from the experiment that meant that this morning 100% of the RLJers I saw were wearing helmets. I did see cyclists without helmets and I saw cyclists without helmets stopped at junctions.
So does wearing a helmet make you:
a. Stupid
b. Inconsiderate to other road users
c. Invincible.
* I think, but cannot prove, that he was listening to "Go through the red light, stop just after. Breathe. Go through the red light stop just after. Breathe. Go through the red light, stop just after. Breathe"
