To stop hijacking other threads, please debate helmet use here - or not, if you are a free-spirited and capable rider responsible for your own actions.

[QUOTE 1635772, member: 9609"]Have just noticed the helmet sub forum has disappeared![/quote]
I think it disappeared for a reason. Hopefully another black hole emerges and sucks this thread in to it. As these things get pretty tedious.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

You know there's plenty of evidence to support the theory that crashing without a cycle helmet into a sleeping dog that you've let lie can result in up to 47% more injuries and/or similar within two weeks if not completely satisfied.

So-called helmet-thread zealots and anti-helmet anarcho-syndicalists can crow all they like from their ivory tower in the clouds (or similar) but a fact is, in all probability, a fact.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

This dog never went to sleep. It just formed a new evolutionary tactic of feigning sleep, so that it could rip your arm off as you tiptoe past it unsuspectingly.

Helmets look rubbish though don't they.
These are much better and offer more protection from being splattered by a motor car.

What do you mean? Helmet threads are the reason cycling forums were invented! Now everyone can argue all day without any hope of changing anyone's mind all the while getting more and more angry that their facts are more factual than anyone else's facts but no one will listen!

We each have our own reasons behind our choices.

I prefer to use one, but what anyone else does is no one's business but their own.... IMHO of course.

I saw things were about to kick off so I got out of there...

My facts are more factual than anyone else's.

I can back that up with fact.

All you have is hollow rhetoric and pseudo-fact psycho-twoddle.

That's a fact. And it's a factier fact than any of your so-called facts.

With knobs on.

That kid it going to have a massive scare for the rest of his life now. Just for not waering a helmet.

Can people 'not' arguing about helmets please go elsewhere.
