Keeping safe and being seen on the road

[Sharky]

Absolutely! I invested in the latest Giro helmet – one used by the pros, so it must be safe – without delay. I must say, I already feel safer. Guys no longer overtake me as they stare (in what can only be jealousy) at my new lid. And women drivers look at my alluring headgear – it can only be the look of love at first sight – rather than making a dépassement dangereux. Frankly, this newfangled helmet has been a marvellous improvement in style and safety.

I wonder what Vic Gibbons would have made of this? He won the BBAR, Wearing a "HAIRNET" for aero advantage!

Just to add, Vic Gibbons won the Hainault RC hilly 40 in 1970. I rode the event as well, but took me almost 30 minutes longer.

And the other coincidence, he died on my birthday, 9th February only three years ago, age 90.

It's a page that demands you do some work for Google before seeing another page, usually some image recognition to train their "AI" or similar. I'm asking it in response to that because that's what the link shows. Maybe if the poster had described what they thought they were linking & why it matters, we'd know which page they meant to link.

Interesting. I never saw any captcha/recaptcha. That is why I was confused (plus the fact I didn't understand what you meant by "workwall"). I got straight in to the one shown by Classic33.

Just clicked it again, and again got straight in.
