She fell off her bike and broke her collarbone. A mandatory helmet laws is not yet on the cards. A Conservative government certainly wouldn't introduce one.
Yeah, I totally agree. Was only trying to say it's more likely to be used as leverage by groups that want to mandate 'cycle safety' rather than safe cycling conditions.
The helmet question was asked, and positively answered, in the House of Lords recently:

What po faced bollocks, chompy was entering into the spirit of the forum as much as saying 'heal up Theresa'. Sure, it's a bummer anyone getting hurt, talk about stating the bleedin obvious.
If she's going to get back on a bike when she heals fast, I hope to god her image advisors put her on a bike that looks more comfortable.

Anyone know how it actually happened? Broken collar bone is classic sticking your hand out when falling but what caused the accident?
Interesting to see above suggesting the accident may translate to a change in policy i.e. the helmet suggestion, but I wonder what would happen if it was careless/dangerous driving?

They'll have to get Ed involved.

Can I just say that I do wish injury on Michael Gove? Also; Andrew Lansley.

Gove deserve special treatment with a pair of pliers and a blow-torch.

Maybe we could route a Critical Mass to rest up and re-group outside his house for twenty minutes or so?
