@BigHarv65 The jury is still out on the effectiveness of for cycling helmets. Helmets are only effective from a standing fall. They offer no protection from a collision with a car. A study from Bath University found that motorists pass significantly closer to helmeted riders. Places that have compulsory helmet laws, or even encourage their use have low levels of cycling. which decreases the safety in numbers factor. It would make more sense to encourage motorists or pedestrians to wear one.
@zivkovicable Yeah, the motor bikers in New York had a very similar argument to you and took their demonstration to the streets not wearing helmets. They were also travelling very slowly when one of then crashed, hit the pavement and died. I cannot believe I'm even having this argument.........
@BigHarv65 You can't believe you're having this argument, because you haven't researched or even thought about this subject before you posted your uninformed statement. You don't even realise there is a debate at all. If current research persuaded me that wearing a helmet was safer I would, but it hasn't so I won't. More lives would be saved if pedestrians were made to wear them. How many motorists die from head injuries? Many more than cyclists. Why not make it compulsory for them?
@BigHarv65 "Yaaawwwwn" was my reaction to your very first comment. You really thought you were just talking plain old common sense there didn't you. Rather than tired old bullshit not backed up by anything except your prejudice.
If you look behind him in the real ticket video you can actually see that there are ZERO obstacles behind him to cause him not to be where he was supposed to be and he smartsoff to the officer. Go NYPD! Great Job!
Good, I'm glad you got a ticket. You were not out of the bike lane to avoid any of the obstacles portrayed in your film or any obstacle for that matter. If you were you wouldn’t have gotten the ticket.
@floridianmama you cant see behind where he was in the clip and what little you can, is where he is now, NOT where the offence took place. The cop would have needed space to pull over.
Also, you dont know if any of your 2nd paragraph is true or not. You werent there. You cant tell. He said it was pouring with rain and that he didnt want to be stuck between the cars and the sidewalk. he felt it was too dangerous. He cant ride on the road or the sidewalk, so what should he have done?
@floridianmama I don't know how to respond to this, so I will just laugh heartily at the fact that you're probably too fat to ride a bike, or are one of those faggots who puts an after market exhaust on a shitty car.
Just saw you on television....Which makes me truely believe that HollyWood has truely gone to crap!
