If you would be so kind as to explain why a cyclist who injures their head when not wearing a helmet is a fool, but a pedestrian who injures their head when not wearing a helmet isn't a fool, that would be lovely.

"develops"? That's a gross abuse of a poor defenceless word

LOL i skipped to the end.
edit... although i must admit i tried to read it... butting going three lines without a full stop says a lot about the quality of writing.

James Joyce did alright out of going far more than three lines without a full stop. Not that this is James Joyce.

why cant we make a survey about every individual here regarding personal cycling incidents and injuries and see how many head injuries there is. me 5 incidents. no head injury.
Ah, risk compensation in practice. It was only knowing it would hurt without a helmet that kept you from banging it. Otherwise in place of a non-banged head you could have been looking at a banged head and a dented helmet that needed replacing

Part 5
So here lies the problem. The ordinary nice dogs who want to have an innocent little chew on a helm-bone have to try and hide it in the wider community of Rotonatta. To do this disguise and deception is needed, but unfortunately helm-bone is difficult to conceal because it is quite distinctive. Though lightweight it tends to be, bulky and shiny with a nice comfy feel to it and, because it is so good for doggies, it is very popular and attracts crowds..
At first all is well, the hidden helm-bone is undetected and the feral pack don’t realise what is afoot; all the nice dogs play nicely and chew the helm-bone in a very nice sociable sort of way. But the ferals have learned the hiding trick and the alphas have appointed Seeker Ferals; Harriadne, Tiny-Byke, Video-Mount, Denby, Turnip and others to track down illegal buried helm-bones; once found the hullaballoo goes up: yelp, snarl, howl, ‘helm-bone, helm-bone,helm-bone!' The seekers then contain the situation with little off-cuts of tripe (they are not big enough to handle the real stuff) – yap, yap, yap; awaiting reinforcements from the alphas. It doesn’t take long before news of the disturbance reaches the ears of Mayor Sheen who intervenes to cart the offending helm-bone off to the ‘Helm-bones Go Here’ enclosure. Some of the ordinary nice dogs will follow for a while but soon realise that the feral pack is on guard with lashings of tripe ready for the fray. Occasionally an ordinary poochy sort of fido will nip in towards the helm-bone and try and nip-off a little morsel before the feral pack engage him. This can be quite hazardous especially when the blood lust is up. Generally the nice dogs can only watch as their helm-bone is taken off to the slammer.

oh i dunno... he's making me look at the whole discussion in a new light... I'm learning to see things from a different point of view and am beginning to take on board other peoples feelings, thoughts, wants and needs. I'm also genuinely concerned for the doggies in the story and hope everything turns out well for them. Hopefully it wont turn in to a Disney-nasty like Bambi 2 was.
Your laboured and infantile story fails utterly, because no-one is trying to prevent people from wearing helmets.
Oh, and if you would be so kind as to explain why a cyclist who injures their head when not wearing a helmet is a fool, but a pedestrian who injures their head when not wearing a helmet isn't a fool, that would be lovely.
If you can't answer, then please just say so - it's quite rude to ignore direct questions like that.

That became evident when they started making lurid statements and then refusing to answer any questions.It was compounded when this was followed up with completely misquoted and represented stories attempting to justify helmet use.
Mind you I must admit that this is the farthest I have ever seen anyone to to avoid the answer to a question!
TyT stated that he hated paying for non helmeted cyclists to be treated for injuries on the NHS, yet despite repeated requests refuses to state if this is the only group or whether he objects to other "preventable" injuries.
