file:///C:/cycling%20safety-helmets.htm Safe helmets my ****! The only reason they are worn is because insurance companies do anything not to pay out. As is a helmet would make a difference in a real collision!:D

Stats mean everything house as they record history and defeat your point. Your can't explain the fugures away so you attack me! Face it ol boy. You've been intellectually and factually flogged!:p

I see no justification for helmets in a race. Absolutely none. There have been a small number of deaths in the tdf, mostly drugs! As I have said, those stats and the fact tdf has never had helmets until recently should tell you something. So you see, history is on my side!:p

No I'm Gavin. I originally signed on as he. Months later I returned as Alan. No secrets there. 've never used two at once! Now, justify helmets!:):p

Just an insurance company ripoff. Good enough for the champions to eide without one for nearly a century that's good enough for me. I notice "house doesn'r argue on the records!

"House " should ask what that solicitor said!

House, you are a boofhead! I never head I would never wear one. On the public streret yes! Hoever in a race...no! What's the point. Raising the rare trajedy doesn't change my mind. Like I said the tdf throughout it's history never required helmets Thin boy think!:)

But I never said I didn't wear one. I just said they look stupid and they do. And they won't protect you i n a serious accident involving the head, only minor:) stuff

"OUCH":)

I never doubted the value or reason for their existence!

You want to bet. Try bouncing off the car onto the pavement! Worse than any race! Anyway, regardless of the practical good of a melmet, they really take the traditions from a race:)

In an organised race that has been raced without helmets more than it has with helemts , there are no cars or other vehicles that cause a problem. A bike race is not as hazardous as the public street where I understand wearing a helmet is sensible!:)

Albert. You obviously missed the part when I said they serve a purpose. But they are stupidly designed and I'm not the first to say so!:p

Is Ulrich racing again ?

Yes, I know they are there for a purpose, but in races, a helmet removes any traditional we see in the cap! Surely in a race they can do without them or make it a matter of choice. When I see all those helmets it really spoils the visual aspect!
