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

Common sense, that.

Why u post such nonsence?

Jeez on negotiation:

Bore them into submission with endless detail as to why your offer is a good one, or .... Blind them with science, doing your best to convince them that you know everything and there is no point in them trying to disagree, ...

Also this thread is a clusterfuck of bad science, opinion, and trolling

Bit of a grim cartoon doing the twitter rounds:

Not sure it helps either way.

Old but true.
If it means you get an open casket with the side parting you always wore then they are worth the slight percentage afterall, just like all them cats falling butterside up.

Obviously, tell your friend I can do both, probably combine the two if that's their thing.

My friend wants to know if you like Bono?

Bono? Fuck off, what kind of a fucking pervert do you take me for?

Thanks in no small measure to Martin Hannett.

Here is Cycling Scotland's helmet position

Recommendations

1. Cycle helmets should not be made compulsory now or at any time. It would be arbitrary to impose legislation on cyclists, who do not face clearly higher risks than pedestrians or drivers. Enforced helmet laws drive cycle use down, thereby increasing the risk per cyclist and harming public health. Enforced helmet laws have not effected material prevention of serious head injury at the population level.

2. A large increase in cycle use should have political and social priority. Increasing cycle use is one of the most effective measures to reduce the risk of death per cyclist, due to the “safety in numbers” effect. It is also “probably the most effective measure” to tackle obesity and lack of physical exercise in general..

3. Helmet guidelines should be realistic. “Don’t over-predict benefits. Unduly optimistic predictions will hamper injury prevention efforts in the long run”.

Bloody Scots, being all sensible and modern yet again, if it wasn't such a bleak wilderness, miles from civilisation, I'd quite happily emigrate when they rebuild Hadrian's wall.
