Grant Shapps came off his bike and cut his lip.
"Thank goodness for the bike helmet, without which it could have been much worse".
A bold statement to make, but given the few details of the incident, very hard to quantify.
It's just a bit concerning that someone in his position makes such a claim.
I just wish that him and others would desist from this nonsense after every accident they have on a bike. Painting cycling as some high risk method of transport cannot be helpful in bringing it to the masses; and then claiming that putting a thin layer of plastic and polystyrene on your head somehow makes it safe?
