ShortLegs Posted March 4, 2009 Share Maybe in light of improved rider/motorist relations of the past week or so, the need for helmets is not currently warranted..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Zone Posted March 4, 2009 Share Wearing a helmet' date=' wearing a seat belt, wearing a condom, Its up 2 U. Everythings got it pro and cons, so stop sounding like their parents... [/quote'] The point is that it is not just a matter of personal choice. 1. You are a role model to youngsters and others who see you riding without a lid and think its "cool"2. Its the law to wear a helmet. I couldnt care about some dimwit weekend warrior who rides without a helmet, his head, his problem. I do have a problem with someone who gets media coverage and is an ambassador for the sport of cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a role model to youngsters and others who see you riding without a lid and think its "cool"2. Its the law to wear a helmet. I read a report yesterday that studied children in the US and foundthat where 90% wore helmets if their parents did, only 20% worethem if their parents did not. I can't find it, or else I'd post the link. Didanyone else read it? So we have a bad example to kids and Barloworld saying #$%^ you tothe law of the land. Not cool...

ccc2 Posted March 4, 2009 Share its not about B'world , its about cyclists behaviour. its the impression they leave with motorists (who haven't a clue who they are). a misbehaving bunch of cyclists are just that , motorists don't care if they are a T d France bunch or a T d Argus bunch. We have to live here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted March 4, 2009 Share Rabobank have initiated a fine system that includes fines for being spotted without your helmet! That happened because Kai Reus went cycling on his own, was picked up next to the road and has no recollection of how he got there. he missed a year's riding and so it was a big financial loss for him and Rabobank. ON THE OTHER HAND; they lost thomas Dekker to Silence Lotto because of the stifling system at Rabobank (of which the fines is a symptom). Silence Lotto are way more relaxed and can't be bothered to wear helmet. So what do people in Holland think about this helmet wearing frenzy? They don't care!!!! Basically you wear it if you want and guess what? Nearly 90% of the guys wear it on training rides because it makes sense to them. No swearing required. OK, I know it's the law in SA, but really, are there no bigger issues in SA? Maybe Clarkson is right after all. Things are not really that bad if this is what people get worked up about.
