Weird, wonder how reliable that test was. Perhaps the wig was scary looking so they gave a wide birth or perhaps the rider was a bit more agressive with the lid on:O

Very interesting indeed! I ride quite allot on a mtb but because it's quite flat here in never use a helmet. Apparantly a good thing :confused

Ummm, two years in jail for not ringing a bell? What's going on over there? :confused Those of you in the UK need to start an uprising or revolution or something. If you decide to go with a revolution, give us a shout, we've had a bit of experience in that area you know. :lol

I don't know where they got that shit from, it was in the media over here as well.
Reminds me when I crashed on track (160kph highside): First question in hospital was "did you wear a helmet" :coocoo

Study does not apply to American motorists:

Besides, if we stay on the trails the trees will protect us. (Or are the trees out to get us too?)

This from someone who just got his first taste of the trails! Are we addicted yet? :thumbup

Oh, hell yes. :yes

If it's gonna rain Saturday, then I'm going to be REALLY late to work on Friday. Probably dusty, too. :devious

 

[shaggy]

Dunno if it applies to motorcycles really as I haven't had a car overtake me yet :laugh :coocoo

What the heck is happening in the U.K.? First the huge license plates on motorcycles, now they're going to mandate bells on bicycles? Something ain't right.:dowhat

 

[crashtd]

realize that in europe, bicycles are like cars to us....everyone uses them to get everywhere.

i never ride my bike (road/tri bike) w/ a helmet, don't even own one. i get alot of flack for it, but honestly someone show me an accident where a helmet that covers 1/4 of my head is going to save my life as the rest of my unprotected body gets throttled around?

now on a motorcycle, always wear a helmet, and i don't understand those that don't


how's that for hypocracy? :O
