[quote=wildnorthlands]There’s a telling analysis of UKIP supporters in the Grauniad: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/may/14/ukip-poll-fans-farage-more-likely-alienated-angry%5B/quote%5DI don’t know why the Grauniad fixates on trying to rubbish UKIP. It’s preaching to the converted. No reader (apart from a few weirdo’s like me) are gonna vote for this party. The Guardian always fails to understand the reasons behind dissenting behaviour (unless those dissenting are Islamic). It’s one of the big failings of the paper. If the editorial team bothered to take notice of some of the below the line comments it would soon learn that not everyone went to a grammar/private school and then were fast tracked through Oxbridge or a red brick uni and live within six miles of Big Ben.

Number 6 http://www.ukcyclingevents.co.uk/terms/It is mandatory that all riders wear a safety approved cycling helmet complying with latest ANSI Z90/4 or SNELL standards. Any rider not wearing a helmet will not be covered by the event insurance and will be disqualified from the event and could be liable for damages if involved in an accident on that basis. The rider must accept this as a condition of entry. UK Cycling Events reserve the right to refuse entry to the event to anyone with inappropriate equipment or clothing. The participant confirms that the cycle/bike they are riding for the event and all of their equipment is of a suitable standard and state of trail/road worthiness. In particular, the ability to complete longest distance, and over rough terrain dependant on the event.
dependent. It’s dependent.
I hate Nigel Farage for his
I hate Nigel Farage for his smoking, beery, car driving, posh boy mentality and his party’s approach to cycling in the UK. I will however be voting UKIP in the upcoming elections because I hate the Tory/Labour/Lib Dem oligarchy even more.andycoventry wrote:pakennedy
I clearly just avoided a potentially life threatening injury.Gets hit on head and accepts helmet “saved me a trip to a hospital at the very least”. Decision is not to wear a helmet in the future.
That makes not one shred of sense to me sorry…….
He didn’t decide not to wear a helmet for ever, just until he gets around to buying a new one I expect. It was a freak occurrence that will probably happen just once in his cycling history. If we take the argument to its logical conclusion the way to really stay safe and reduce the chance of head injury is to sell his bike and stay indoors. Forever.
