Barlo not doing us any favours


Red Zone

Recommended Posts

Barloworld were featured on the news this morning, riding along Marine Drive. One of the riders was riding without his helmet, not a great message for safe cycling. Particularly with all of the unfortunate incidents on our roads recently.

I know it is not right. But try telling that to one of the european pro. I rode back after sunday's mtb argus. two Rapha Condor riders came past doing a easy ride going through piniel with out  helmets and riding next to each other with busses and taxis passing them.... Sometime they just dont know

Just relax guys, breath deeply and smile.  It's only a bit of polystyrene and it's not your head.  Rather be glad that they bothered to turn up for the four one day races!

Too late, my wife's got them in a jar for safekeeping!!

 

Anyway, don't you think it's nice that MOST of the guys were riding with helmets?  I think we need to applaud themClap

I have said before but got lambasted that we are talking about adults here that have made an informed decision not to ride with a helmet despite what we all may say. It's a risk that they are prepared to take and be it on their 'head' what happens to their families etc. when they do have a big fall on the pip! They probably don't wear seatbelts either .....

 

But it is a whole different kettle of fish were it a youngster ......... then I think a swift smack to the back of the pip is on!
