Are helmets compulsory?

[Jaded]

Helmets are only compulsory for certain races, at all other times in the UK helmets are purely personal choice.

Quite right too. The chinkys and the arabs should be forced to wear a helmet.*

Wow, it's a potty for sweat. I hope you ride slowly

Cheeky...Im probably slow but still sweat a lot.

Excuse the ignorance JrG, but what is BSO? I get the inference of a Halfords type bike, but not what it stands for.

Sorry, it stands for Bicycle Shaped Object.

And are they compulsory? No. That's victim-blaming, and it is a disgusting habit. If drivers don't want to crush your skull to a delicious brainy pulp, they shouldn't drive over your head.

'A sweat potty' - excellent andy!

No, that's going to be a brain-boiler in summer.

Nah, in summer you cover it in tinfoil. Stops the BBC transmitting government propaganda into your brain, and the albedo effect reduces global warming.

Not just wrong colour. For riding any distance at any sort of effort it simply does not have enough ventiliation.

Just wondering.

Reason for asking is some dopey woman goes across one of those "dustbin" roundabout without looking right and I was coming from the right!

Anyway, she parks up at sports centre to I pedal up to her to ask here if she was aware of what she did.

So she starts a go at me for not wearing a helmet!

FFS like it is my fault and not hers for not looking!!!

Anyway, hence the question.

I for sure have not heard that it is compulsory by law to wear a helmet - any one know for sure?

It was your fault, if you had been wearing a helmet it would have amplified your telepathic powers, sending her a subliminal message to look right
