  • learn how to ride a bike lol

  • Fact is helmets are very useful but the rest of your body is exposed, if you get hit by a car a helmet isn't going to save you. Plus the main potential injury area for a cyclist is the arms/hands. I was wearing reflective gear, gloves and a full face helmet when I had my worst ever crash landing me in hospital for a week.

  • Unfortunately, in the UK much of the debate about the efficacy of helmet-wearing seems to end up eventually at questions about whether helmet wearing should be made compulsory. CTC believes that it is absolutely the choice of the individual whether or not to wear a helmet. Compulsion laws in other countries have always reduced the number of cyclists, without reducing the number of cyclists injured. Helmet compulsion leads to fewer people cycling, and more risk for the remaining cyclists.

  • @soobeng Cycle helmet standards only require that they withstand an impact of 20 km/h (12.5 mph). This is the sort of impact that would occur if you fell off a bike all by yourself, something that children are much more likely to do than adults. Helmets are not designed to protect against the sort of impact that would occur if you were hit by a moving vehicle.

  • Cycle helmets do not prevent injury in all circumstances, and they certainly won’t protect you from bad drivers, which are the root of the problem in the first place. The focus on helmet wearing detracts from the real issue – bad driving.

  • Bought one of the Boardman Road lids... Really good.  Carbon fibre componesnts even in the helmet!

    £59 well spent.

  • @superfly1st
