Cyclist who don't wear a helmet

[Davidc]

Can the mods move this to the helmets debates ghetto?

 

[summerdays]

Already done !

What I don't get is how someone with a post count in the 200's would come along and post something so contentions and not expect the

that follows!

For the full effect they should have fluorescent hi-viz, REALLY bright lights on constantly, ride on the pavement ringing their bell to make pedestrians move out of their way without needing to slow down, wearing full team kit or world champion stripe top under the hi-viz and waving at every other cyclist that they see - apart from nodders on BSO's naturally.

Have I missed anything.

Helmets are vital, otherwise where would I stick my sunglasses when it is raining?

 

[mcshroom]

The lights should be on strobe mode for maximum annoyance surely?

Surely just locking it and putting us out of our misery would be better?

Seems pretty mad to me cycling with no helmet roads are harder than heads at least a helmet gives you a better chance thsan ending up in a wheel chair and brain damaged, ought to be a law making it compulsery like motor bikes, you can do 30 /40 mph on a cycle or motor bike and you can get as much injuries on a cycle by hiting your head on the road as on a motor bike. . .

Couldn't agree more......

[ianrauk]

oh do shut up. What an utterly, utterly pathetic thread.

Funnily enough I was challenged today for not wearing a helmet by a motorcyclist!


So I let him rant and when he stopped...

" Are you are unaware that tricycles are exempt form motorcycle laws...... you did notice that I am riding a tricycle??"

Didn't go down well...

 

[Paul99]

Does anyone know where I can get a helmet for this?
