maybe if you had to pay road tax insurance the cyclists would then all have to tow the line and ride within the law.

Like all those driver who do have to pay tax and insurance and never break speed limits, use mobile phones, turn left without indicating, etc...

My main problem with cycling is that the trolls we tend to attract in cycling related threads seem to be of a very poor standard compared to some of the other trolls on here.

I demand a better quality of troll who at least posts things that make sense and have some sort of point!

cyclists, what can I say, your at the bottom rung of the ladder, you will get stepped on more.


from the lesser troll.

Retrogamer

I wear a helmet when i'm doing something i deem dangerous or high risk.
Usually when doing cross country cycling where rocks are about, but not always.

Never wear it on the road or cycle paths though.

Reason? It's uncomfortable. It takes enjoyment away from my cycle and i feel less free

From the thousands of miles i've cycled during my life and the dozens of times i've fallen off i've only hit my head once. Split it open but no stiches needed and no problems apart from a cut and some blood.

I'm confident enough with my cycling that i'm only likely to fall off when doing something high risk, hence wearing it then.

Most helmets offer minimal protection anyway. I've hit my head worse when falling on the ice before whilst walking and we don't encourage people to wear helmets when walking outside when it's slippy.
