A simple question: Do you wear a helmet?

[ufkacbln]

There will never be a complete solution to road deaths,all we can do is educate drivers,cyclist and pedestrians on the safest practices we have right now.
Phones and ipods are the biggest killers. All users are too busy looking at them,instead of our roads and pavements

Another myth.....

Your ludicrous straw man is not worthy of further discussion.

Good I brought a smile to you even if you can't be bothered to try and have a reasonable discussion. But then, its helmetland. Have a good day ...

Your primary protection is not having an accident. So, rather than pushing helmets, we look for better training for young cyclists for example.

bit ironic the day you say this wiggins is knocked off and put in hospital, - er if he can,t avoid an accident what chance have the rest of us,

He was wearing a helmet, you know.

Perhaps we should wait until the details come out before drawing any conclusions.

which hopefully saved his head.
it seams a matter of perception of danger and protection if you wear a helmet or not.

I just wondered do you carry a first aid kit in case of an accident. ?
I suspect those that don,t wear helmets don,t carry first aid kits (just a guess, probably completely wrong , just a thoery)

Do you also "suspect" that all helmet wearing cyclists are First Aiders with up to date certification?

 

[smutchin]

I don't go anywhere on my bike without a full ambulance crew following me. It would be foolhardy, nay reckless, to do otherwise.

 

[Licramite]

thought so.
we have the same problem getting blokes on site to wear protective kit. -

Wiggins may be a little faster than me...

Wiggin's a tad faster than me too, in the same way that Warren Buffet's got a couple of quid more than me.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Really? I would have thought that Warren Buffet is at least ten times richer than you but that Wiggins is only twice as fast.

OK not in exactly the same way - anyway at the moment I think I'm faster than Wiggins.
