Greetings,
in the last 6 years commuting into London, I have twice been in RTAs. Both resulted in tumbles over
the handlebars thanks to thoughtless cagers, and on both occasions I was wearing a good quality
helmet (Specialised MTB first time, Selev Alien the second). On both occasions I was able to walk
away, but the helmets were cracked and written off. To me this proves some impact was taken by the
plastic and polystyrene that would have otherwise gone to my (admittedly tiny!) brain.
On this newsgroup I never see people screaming to have the seatbelt, or motorcycle helmet laws
repealed, so I don't know why so many are so fervently anti-cycling helmet. I don't necessarily
think introduction of compulsory laws are a good use of parliamentary time, but I think to deny the
potential benefits of a GOOD QUALITY (shouting deliberate) helmet is ridiculous.
I await the backlash.
