Nice one. Cycle helmet's are essential whether in traffic, or playing off road. Below is a picture of my flatmates cycle helmet after coming off on a descent at about 30mph in the middle of nowhere.Goodfella said:
The doctors said that wearing the helmet stopped him being a vegetable, or worse. A cycle helmet will be the best £50+ purchase you will ever make, should you fall off (or be knocked off by one of the previous posters).
Sorry to hear of your loss EastLondonSeagull. If cyclists have to take a cycling profiency then pedestrians should be forced to take some sort of test to make them aware of their actions as well (IMO).

I know exactly where your coming from but its not wholey practical to try and educate every pedestrian in the UK to watch out for cyclist who may or may not be in a cycle lane/road/path.

good idea, never gonna happen, but signed
yours a considerate cyclist pissed off with people knicking my bikes in Hove - 3 in the last 4 years including a late 70s Peugot PX10 - very scruffy but a SUPERB bit of kit
there should be another petition for bike theft to be punishable by death

I have read this a few times and still don't understand it. Surely your head would be warmer IF you wore a helmet in winter, just like the old bobble hats my Mum used to make me wear when I first started going to the Goldstone (which disappeared into my pocket as soon as I got round the corner).
And as for cyclists jumping red lights, how many car owners on here can honestly say they've never jumped or driven through as the lights are changing?
No, my main objections to cyclists are
(1) the kit, especially those shorts the men wear. Why not wear a posing pouch and have done with it? I suspect they are all closet lycra fetishists.
(2) The rubbing your nose in it type of "I am considerably more green than yow"posing when they eventually get in to the office with faces the colour of beetroot; followed by ostentatiously taking ten minutes to shower and change into respectable clothing whilst the rest of us are bloody working!

Isn't that what the green cross code man was for... bring him back I say!

I would say that I see just as many motorists as cyclists jumping red lights: particularly on the lights at Coombe Road, where the red is treated as an invitation to stop rather than an instruction.
I'm with you about cyclists though: I've never worn any of the lycra gear as it does make you look like a tosser. And I get in the office well before anyone else so I can be changed before the rest of the crowd show up.
