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

whoops.. i went away and read what i wrote... i apologise for my spelling errors!

^^ Link Please.

Here.

wow i vaguely glanced over this thread and was overwhelmed by the amount of chatter!
**surely it makes sense to wear a helmet to not get brain damage or whatever happens when a car hits you at a high enough speed. **
ok now that I've put my oar in i will never post in this thread again and also will be riding my bike... instead of talking a lot about helmets and HSE stuff....

P.S. safety is easy... use you common sense... and if you aint got any.... your're screwed and probably shouldn't ride a bike in the vicinity of cars, lampposts, ramps... or anything that you might hit, or fall off of, or get hit by

oh really? do you have a clue?

Phew. I'd missed that one until now. Glad it's all sorted at last.

I meant...

Thanks for clarifying.

Precisely. Any decent cyclist can just ride in a way that guarantees 100% that they will never ever get doored, just like we can all guarantee 100% that we will never hit ice or a wet manhole cover or get a blow-out at speed or have a car pull out in front of us by cycling perfectly. Basically anyone ever who has had a crash is a shit cyclist.

For a second then I thought you were being genuine and I was back on CycleChat .

But then I noticed there weren't a flood of 'like's under your comment and I realised I wasn't.

the HSE order of prevention was on one of the blogs and is mentioned a lot when compulsory helmets are brought up.

I started a thread on it here, because I haven't seen it used as an argument as much as I'd expect. Which blog was it on?

I can't remember the blog am afraid, thanks for link to that thread - interesting discussion.

Don't laugh, an acquaintance fell off a spinning bike over christmas and broke his ankle.

Needed ski bots, not a helmet

Got an A+E consultant teaching us students that people who don't wear helmets are "idiots" and no wonder they come in with brain injury, then bringing it up later another student called me a stupid fool if I thought there was any possible reason or query that could possibly differ from the helmet save yo life doctrine.

Doctors of today / the future, y u so bad at simple evidence and logic?

I don't mind if people disagree, once they've bothered to think about it. "It must be so cos it's obvious duh" is one step above religion.

It's common sense.

Just incase anyone needs a reminder:

That looks like a genuine council advert^^

it's worse than religion. religionists belive and the inability to prove the existance of their god often strengthens their faith. extreme views about it the value of helmet wearing is just sloppy science

Good thread BTW.

Just incase anyone needs a reminder:

jesus christ i had to try really hard to suppress laughing in my office

it does not include the helmet on back to front option

It's just wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong,
Right?

But they should be a legal requirement?

Why u post such nonsence?
