Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

a woman got killed some years back in Paddington because some little shits snatched her bag while she was riding along, she fell off and hit her head on the kerb sans helmet and died as a direct result.

Are you thinking of Jane Gauntlett, or has there been another similar assault?

Luckily, she is still with us, still riding her bike, even though she was badly injured and in a coma for two weeks.

An absolutely disgusting, cowardly attack.
