A helmet means never needing all your food pureed.

Just before the dam wall at Emmarentia this morning.

Forget the helmet, what about lights??

[Slowbee]

What phone did you use to take the pic DawieO ?

[DawieO]

Blackberry Javelin.  Light was a bit crappy and everything was moving, but came out good enough.

[AndreZA]

Hwy, what time do you cross there? I also travel that route.

[Slowbee]

used the cell phone will driving ?

 

to take pics to post on the hub about two guys cycling without helmets ?

 

Surely you should have stopped them and told them politely that they suck, and then have them throw water bottles at you, then you could phone a friend to come and help you blixem them ?

Good point slowbee.  Good thing I have self-tensioning seatbelts and 8 airbags inside my steel box to protect my nut.

 

And then, as my best mate keeps reminding me, it isn't my head why should I care?

[Mr Mulebar]

Riding on SA roads in low light conditions without lights is dumb enough, without a helmet is just plain STUPID!! Not to mention against the law!

[AndreZA]

Don't play the "against the law" card. It will drag this thead over 50 pages and few people will leave the hub, again.

Look at the Americans, you can ride a motorcycle without a helmet but you have to wear glasses...the idea is you fall and damage your nut==>you problem....a bug flies into your eye==>you might crash into someone else...thus protect the other party if you do not want to protect yourself.

 

 

 

I believe in Darwin...let the idiots reduce their numbers...so only the cleaver and strong will survive.

Fact is fact. Forget about the law thing riding without a helmet is still the dumbest thing a cyclist can do.

Forget about the law thing riding without a helmet fart-arsing about with your cell phone while driving is still the dumbest thing an operator of 2-odd tons of steel cyclist can do.

Agreed, but seeing it's a cycling forum I thought I wouldn't open that can of worms!
