"Oh Shit" moments...

Shit. Maybe I should start wearing a helmet. I'd be interested to know how many people on here do or don't. I read an article in The Guardian that said normal bike helmets were not much better than nothing if the speed was greater than 12-15mph... so I kind of figured if I was going slow it wouldn't be that bad anyway and if I was going fast... well that would be more than 12mph, so sod it. Hmmm...

Err perhaps not the thread to discuss this.... But I take xrays innit, and I've scanned and xrayed more than enough helmetless cyclists who have done damage to their heads and brains coming off bikes.

Perhaps for every one cyclist who damages themselves riding helmetless a hundred walk away fine but who knows?

Makes you wonder! I guess you take a chance with everything you do.
