rawbone Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Wearing a helmet is the LAW and all that siht!!! I know I always ride with my helmet except after washing my bike and testing it but . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07o-TASvIxY I now work in Haute-Normandie in France. You will see people without helmets everywhere on organised cycling group rides! For the winter its just siht to wear a beanie under your helmet.So not that big deal. . . Pretty cool video - interesting.
carbon29er Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Correct me if I am wrong....The cyclist attitude towards road safety as seen by other road users is the issue here. We are quick to point fingers if a motorist does not abide by the law but choose to look away if one of our own is at fault. We as cyclist must show the public that we are responsible. No point fighting road safety but then we don't give a **** !Big big difference in effect. When last did a cyclist not wearing a helmet cause a motorist injury or death? Can you say the same of a motorist passing a cyclist too close and hitting him/her? Helmet or not? Fact is over 80% of motorist caused accidents on cyclists is caused by the motorist hitting the cyclist from behind.
carbon29er Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Their some studies on findings are that overtaking drivers pass closer to cyclists “when the rider wears a helmet.... Here is just 1! http://blogs.crikey.com.au/theurbanist/2012/10/24/do-motorists-drive-closer-to-cyclists-wearing-helmets/As the great Dennis Lillee said when the late Tony Greig started wearing a helmet while batting: "It gives me something to aim at!"
Wyatt Earp Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 ouch! that really hurt. OP, see what k@k you have caused? FFS manSo much of McBeefy in this post .
dre Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 So OP never returned to say if he took the pic while on his bike?
BDF Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 What amazes me is that the OP is nowhere on this thread except for his opening comment... Almost looks like a case of: "hey, I know what I can do today! Light a fire on the hub and see what happens!!"If he gave a rat's ass for the guy or the law he would have done what Smimby did with the cellphone user in the Mazda....

BuffsVintageBikes Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 This IDIOT is often seen on the Bottelary road without a helmet. How can someone not obey the basic rules of cycling?The year is 2014 and not 1974 when cycling was done without helmets. Someone needs to act and get this IDIOT off our roads. He is a danger for everyone, go and spend your time on a spinning bike then #safecycling Talk about a Drama Queen, WTF???. This oke has been riding Bottelary for the past 20 years like this and he's still alive. If you want to vent your anger effectively go and start a petition to get every African commuting to work to wear a helmet, they're at equal risk of brain leakage. And no, it's not Wiele, he's recovering at home with a broken scapula after riding into a stationary car (without his helmet on).
CarbonKid Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I agree. riding with or without a helmet is his choice, How can he possibly be a danger to everyone but himself. I rode with an ex-pro for years who never wore a helmet. In fact i did too for years in the 80's and 90's, until i realised that trying to look PRO didnt cut it for me, and now would never ride withouit one, just dof if you ask me, but at the end of the day its his choice and shouldnt concern you. Go smoke a doobie and chill bud........
