Play the video, 30 secs in....

He blamed the drink last time, what'll it be this time?

I used to quite like Wiggo, the nobber .

I always thought he was a nobber.

Looks like it's safe to stick my head above the parapet now

I agree that making helmets compulsory on the roads will have an effect.... not sure it's the one he's thinking about though.

agreed.... nobber.

I was there that day (The ride with Brad Sportive), and he couldn't have been less interested in being there. At the start he said about 3 sentences before buggering off. I understand he's a bit of an oddball character and quite introverted, but he's in danger of seriously damaging his reputation (if not already done so). Hopefully the move back to the track post 2014 will see him happier and focused again.

Yawn. The man is paid to cycle.

So is Laura Trott. (Paid to cycle that is. ) Where I'd give Wiggins 0/10 I'd give Laura 10/10 for advocating the inclusion of cycling in the National Curriculum.

Eh? what was wrong with that?

There's not a great deal in it but more pedestrians and car occupants die from head injuries in a RTC than cyclists (82% and 86% respectively), so if you REALLY want to save lives we should force pedestrians and car occupants to wear helmets.

Ah, but that would mean enforcing silly rules on a majority*, not a minority**. How long would the politicians' careers last, if they did that?

* pedestrians & motorists.
** cyclists.

P*ssed up Wiggo thread turns into helmet debate, lol... Have to love this place, sometimes.

Yeah, he's a bit of a strange one and you never really know how he is going to react. Good at riding a bike, mind you

I'm not getting into the whole should you shouldn't you debate but for the record I always do feels wrong if I don't.

He just seems normal Wiggo & it's not exactly the most interesting place he could have been at the time.

Mind your language! I've adopted her as my daughter.
