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

"speak louder, I can't hear you".

I need words of wisdom like that as a female.

Penis insults just aren't applicable. There's a severe lack of "reply back" insult parity ;)
Dick jokes work even better when spoken by a female.

Whynot combine them both.

"On your mum's dick"

With any luck, the buttnugget will be so confused as to fall of his bike and explode into a million tiny pieces.

Tiny dick shaped pieces.

Hah!

Can be delivered in an extra thick Dutch accent for more lulz. Like the Amsterdam policeman. Police in Amsterdam - Harry Enfield and Chums - BBC comedy - YouTube

That bit of Amsterdam looks strangely familiar...

^ doing Amsterdam wrong

Just answer 'on my dick'

Was deparatley trying to think of combacks when he went past me but unfortunatley he didnt say anything else and my brain it seemed was too spacked out on moving my legs up and down.

will remember the combo "on your mums dick" for future

confusion upon being insulted ftw

I've had some nodder nagging me years ago on "Why I was not wearing a helmet".

Instead I explained helmets to f-all when a car hits you, that didn't seem to go in. Trying to be nice. It's bad for you. Sarcasm be ready.

Next time I may ask why her helmet isn't color coordinated with her pink bike.

Next time I may ask why she's wearing a bit of useless polystyrene that makes cycling look dangerous and gives drivers a stick to beat people who ride bikes with, and distracts from real safety messages and that she should be ashamed...

.

Yeah I tried that, you know what people say: "It doesn't do any harm to wear one".

Well...it does according to one study indicating shorter distance by cars when overtaking etc...too abstract for most ppl.

I think the wearing of a helmet is a personal choice. I don't wear one for a few reasons the first being I don't think that polystyrene is gonna do my nut much good if I crash. The second reason is the only time I have actually worn a helmet while cycling I crashed into a woman blindly wondering across a road without looking. So know I prefer to ride without one and trust what I can see and my instincts tell me . I have nothing against helmet wearers It's your choice just dont try to lecture us non helmet wearers about How dangerous we are. Not that I can hear any of you with my headphones in anyway I rather be listening to the chilli peppers that your waffle anyway . :)

Be careful...with the headphones on you don't hear the beeping of that lorry about to turn left ... :P

Not if im waiting behind it instead of being like most other cyclists and being obsessed with getting front of it :)

Tongue in cheek... ;)

I use my hearing aside from my eyes so it's not for me, but doesn't seem risky to listen to music either.

CTC did some research into cyclists listening to music, there was no link with extra accidents they could find with the data set they had. Which makes sense as car drivers don't hear much outside sounds either...it's pure sight.

My brother had his music on so loud he couldn't hear a motor agent honking at him to stop as his rear light was out though. He managed to waffle his way out of a fine anyway. Skills...!

This kinda shows why you should wear helmets, all those dangers, beware it gets comically graphic after a bit.

That, is amazing!

(wasn't sure where to post this...)

An Aussie lass pulled up alongside me at the lights on Mare St earlier, and as someone RLJ'd she said to me "it's always those who don't wear helmets who jump red lights, isn't it?"

I was right next to her, waiting patiently at a red light, sans-helmet.

I'm not sure if she then expected me to then ride off into RLJ-horror-oblivion because I wasn't wearing a helmet. Was it a dare or was she just equating helmet-wearing with red light observation?

Either way, a bit strange.

I love that forklift video.

There's hope for a resolution to this thread still.

£130. Christ!

Don't throw eggs at the floor and save £130.

Toy helmet is not made from the same materials as real helmets, and doesn't time-diffuse deceleration by the same mechanism. Bad science, bringing up children to obey orders without knowing how to question their validity.

Brains are not made off eggs either.

Mostly.
