Look like a perfect example of a Hospital Bend, almost-racing bunch crash.  :whistling:  .... must be less risky to ride on Bottelary Road without a helmet.... :ph34r:

Question is what will the helmet help? It is only designed to assist with falls from about 1.5m at no forward speed.

I'm pretty sure I'm taller than that on my bike and I hit the ground at speed and cracked it good and proper. My ears rang but my head was fine. nuff said. I for one will always wear a helmet.

Doesn't the old 'adage' $10 head $10 helmet apply? Implying that if you go 'sans' helmet you value your 'head' at $0's  :whistling:

 

Don't you think it's time that saying is adjusted to reflect the weak rand and inflation...?

Dick, please please please warn us when you no longer fit into your cycling shorts..............

It is close, ask Mopkop, seams are almost popping, but of course Lycra is a bit more forgiving, not much. I now have compression garments. But at least I wore my helmet, with the strap loose. So now everyone is happy, I have a lid one and no one moans, ho well lets be one of the shee... no wait, lets retract that for fear of lynching.

After all that, why would anyone moan about you wearing a helmet? Seriously.

 

Welcome to the flock mate.

 

By the way, congrats. Mission accomplished, whatever your mission was. Away with you troll.
