Maybe Valverde is his hero ??

Maybe add another option - "Give him some money to buy one!"

 

Cash is hard to come by these day

 

[chucky]

dont even get me started on this subject

[Gumpole]

The same as okes driving without a seatbelt' date=' talking on their cellphone, exceeding the speed limit. It's his life and his choice. As others have said it aint gonna cause you any harm.

 

Having said that, if it were a junior I would vote smack him!

people that exceed the spped limit, drive drunk, talk on cell phone, do make up while driving, drive recklessly tend to crash more often than people who dont... sometimes into innocent cyclists.

 

pEOPLE without helmets, safety belts only put themselves at risk - their choice.

It is not your choice ! No wonder we life in a place where the law means abosolutely nothing . It is not a personal choice it is the law !

Go and read National Road Traffic Act, 1993(Act No.93 of 1996).

  It has plenty to say about wearing of helmets being compulsory on a motor cycle, but not a pedal cycle...

 

[Nettie R]

Let him go, he's big enough to think (?) for himself. Try as we might, we can't be every one else's conscience.

Save your breath and look after the ones close to you.

In October 2004, regulation 207(2) of the National Road Traffic Regulation became effective after being passed three years earlier.

 

The regulation orders the compulsory wearing of a protective helmet that is properly fastened and fitted while riding a bicycle or being carried as a passenger.

If you must react, then you might as well do it properly and run him over.

 

Plus, that will give us plenty popcorn-discussions in the following days

A really dumb unenforced law made by politically correct idiots. How many real bike users ie commuters as opposed to people doing it for a sport do you see using a helmet ?

 

[dirtrider]

You are right but it still does not change the fact that it is law however stupid it maybe !

[Jules]

 

Did he only give you a middle finger ?If that was me I'd have shown you both.

A quality bike handler would be able to show him a brown-eye too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I reckon it's ok to ask this guy where his helmet is, provided you are also prepared to ask:

 

 

 

- Parents why they bring their kids to the pub

 

- Obese people why they eat so much

 

- People who speed why they're driving so fast

 

- People why they smoke

I'd like anybody, be it motorist or fellow cyclist, to challenge OB on the East Rand about his no helmet wearing habit. The entertainment value alone would be worth selling tickets and lots of popcorn ! You see, some people don't really care what people think. Let them just get on with their life.
