Helmet Watch

Things I didn't know I didn't know... http://www.aerotechdesigns.com/compression-socks.html

Mmm, "compression socks" - would that just be the same as socks that are too small?
That said, I seem to have more "compression trousers" than I used to

Cycling here is still in the hands of the cycle-snobs as it were, so a lot of unnecessary Lycra, helmets, aero socks, shaved legs, gps mega power cadence heart monitors

What a load of shite

Won't you have to take it off to tell the time?

It's the weather

So a "lid" will protect you in fast-moving traffic will it? Must be some new research findings no one's heard about.

Four posts into the thread, well done for holding back

It only took three posts for someone to mention "safety". Well done them.

Maybe the thread could simply be a series of posts of photos of commuter cyclists with/without helmets.

Who could be upset by that?

Actual the post mentioned 'feeling safe' which is a very likely cause of people not wearing helmets. Whether it's true or not is a different matter.

Me. I hate helmets.

Is it weird that I won't ride my motorbike without a helmet but I won't ride my bicycle with one?

Ive gone right off helmets since mine left me for someone else.

In my experience, the amount you see depends on the time of day (people using bikes as utility transport rather than 'commuting' are less likely to wear them).

Wouldn't have stopped my shoulder injury, or the wrists on 28 April . Come to think of it wearing a helmet in 2010 didn't stop my knee getting hurt when falling off in the snow .

I stopped wearing one as it made me sweaty and hotter

I need spinal protection, not a helmet.

Just as likely for either, provided I'm on two wheels for both.
