And Chris - I had my lid on and it still happened to me!
Still waiting for the one nighters and the drugs... so it's not all bad, should you 'take the plunge' and do a 4F

Springs here, time to dump the helmet

Yep, leave Cuno and BM to their usual ways however I will say the following:
HELMETS SAVE LIVES
[/quote]
As the number of lives lost through head injuries in the 100+ years before helmets came out wouldn't even make a statistic that statement has no foundation.

Yeah, that's why Lee wore a helmet balaclava whilst racing me through traffic.

Hi
Im going to ignore the helmet stuff and instead question the OPs understanding of spring. The MET office may say spring begins on the first of March but they should tell that to the weather Gods north of the border.
Last weeks weather:
Mon: Cold & frosty
Tues: Cold, Clear skies & a bitter strong wind.
Weds: Cold, 2cm of snow here, rained most of the morning
Thursday: Cold & Windy
Friday: Cold
Sat: 2cm of Snow, sleet as the day went on turning to rain in the Afternoon. Cold
Sun: Rain in the morning but brightened up after lunch. Cold. When I went to bed at 11:30pm - it was snowing.
I may start wearing my shorts again when the max day time temperature raises above 10c.
Spring I wish.

The season of spring doesn't start till the equinox, so in a week's time. It sure seems like spring already though.

The black ice that took me down this morning has other views about Spring being here. Had my helment on as virtually always do - wife works in A&E and none of the counter arguments put forward here would persuade her that it's better to go without any form of head protection. The bloody thing didn't save my shorts, tights, overshoes, arm warmer or drop out though.

I've been working on that analogy as well RR. Something there along lines of I'd wear one while bouncing round in the rough with strangers but no need when following safe routes??

Or not when I'm riding on my own but always when on a tandem?

New here - but was on looking for details on my new bike. I got a new bike because I had an off a couple of weeks ago, driver coming the opposite direction turned right in front of me, I went over his bonnet at 20mph and my head smashed his windscreen in, I didn't feel it but my helmet has quarter of it taken out in a chunk; helmet saved my life! I'm glad I was wearing it and would never go without a helmet before or even more now!
