witnessed a cyclist hit by a car last night, dude was ok, bike a bit mangled though. Paramedic who checked him out victim blamed him for not wearing a helmet! He'd apparently just bought his bike which was a refurb job from somewhere in Dalston: a single speed with rear brake only!
I hate that mentality "don't expect any sympathy from me when you don't wear a helmet". I also see this so often: SS with only a front brake. Feel like I wanna say something but don't wanna be 'that guy'.
