Raleigh's bold statement

Under "essential equipment", claims:

"Always wear a Helmet, as this will prevent brain damage if you take a
nasty fall."

So there you go, a quite definite statement from one of the worlds biggest
cycling manufacturers.

Very brave of them to make such a bold claim without proviso, do you think
that their lawyers have read this?

We must be able to find a helmet wearing head injured Raleigh cyclist to
sue them over that advice ;-)

Do you think it's been copy edited at all? There's a grammatical error
rate of about one every couple of lines of copy!

I particularly liked the way reflective ankle bands "are particularly
good for alerting other road users of any change of direction." And did
you know that if your brake pads are misaligned, you need to replace
them? Or that wheels have pressure which is measured in kg?

How small do you have to be before you can no longer claim to be "one of
the worlds biggest"?

Size doesn't matter... you have to manufacture bikes to be one of the
world's biggest bike manufacturers.

Or it does and you just have to make one 200cm frame to qualify ;-)

As large as a large thing feeling particularly big.

The point was that Raleigh are no longer manufacturers.
