  • slightly foolish remarks by wiggo regarding compulsory helmet laws. ho hum

    [quote=Rod Munch;3042095]Did BW actually make a fresh quote or did [highlight]they just reuse this one from last month...?[/highlight]

    http://www.thefootdown.co.uk/2012/07/12/bradley-wiggins-fred-perry-interview/[quote]Cycling is fantastic, it’s healthy and everything but people have to help themselves a little bit as well and they have to realise sometimes that they are on the road on a bike and there is a certain amount of responsibility they have to take like wearing a helmet, not wearing an iPod and all those things. I think certain laws may have to be passed as well, maybe having a rear light, wearing a helmet, once cyclists start helping themselves like that then they’ll have more protection and rights against drivers. If someone gets killed in a bus lane on a BoJo (Boris Bike) with no helmet and their iPod on then they haven’t really got a leg to stand on.

    That was the quote they used. Probably got the audio from that interview and have now linked them to this bus crash as if he was responding to it.[/quote] Shitty disingenuous reporting from the BBC.

    Cunts.
