Interesting, I dragged out my winter kit the other day when the snow came and sorted through it. Need some base layers as mine are almost done because I use them for ski/snowboarding aswell. So they get alot of use.Today was someone who hasn’t
Today was someone who hasn’t identified themselves on here, so won’t post names incase he’s just got it from my twitter. C. McD……thanks 😉I don’t think Sky/The
I don’t think Sky/The Murdochs can afford ANY bad publicity, so I totally understand their position and DB just has to tow the line like everyone else.I fear he won’t be getting a
I fear he won’t be getting a job anywhere in pro men’s cycling as all teams will be wary of employing ex dopers now.But I see a great place for him at British cycling’s youth or track set up. Either that or a woman’s team?
Sky sponsor British cycling, but don’t “run it” per se.

I am not advising ANYONE not to wear a helmet, everyone has their own choice, but trying to force it on them is also wrong. I’ll choose what i’m happy with, you stick to how you are happy.But to come on here proclaiming the benefits of wearing a helmet. Not going to get much cut

By wearing helmets, cyclists are at best only marginally reducing their chances of being fatally or seriously injured in a collision with a motor vehicle which is the predominant cause of these injuries. Even the most expensive ones provide little protection in these circumstances. Moreover, the argument in favour of helmets would have validity if there were proof that behaviour does not change in response to perceived risk.I smoke a little – I know the
I smoke a little – I know the benefits to stoppingI wear a seatbelt not because its illegal not to, but because of the proven evidence it saves lives.
I don’t wear a helmet because there is NO scientific proof that it does anything for you over a certain speed, normally quoted at around 12-15mph. I cycle fast than that, let alone being hit by something going even faster.
If it was a full face helmet, something akin to a motorcycle helmet, then I’d understand as they are proven lifesavers. Cycling helmets are not.

My whole village and many of the roads around here are cover in this shit, its crap, goes everywhere but the potholes they are trying to cover. Its messy. They need to find something better.A touching story, but no
A touching story, but no insight to that line you started out with.“get a better idea about helmet safety”
“The radiologist found 11 fractures in your first 11 vertebrae. You have a broken sternum, too.”
How does a helmet protect your vertebrae? or the injuries to your face?
As I keep saying, a helmet is just a barrier to road rash at high speed. It does not help in big impacts, nor does it support your neck, which in high speed impacts is the most vulnerable place.

Talk about putting people off. I was looking at the black one, don’t really do white.Looking around other places, last year they have a tail light built in……NAFF :B

Put a visor on the Rabo one and it wouldn’t be so bad. I think if you are going to wear this style of helmet, you must wear a visor or be riding a skate board without the visor 😀Nah, I don’t frequent the
Nah, I don’t frequent the capital, but I do like the flip/removable visor. The problem is, its going to look rather stupid without the visor.The bit that made me laughing
The bit that made me laughing more than anything“You never saw anyone doing anything unusual”
“I saw a Belgian once, having breakfast” 😀 😀
Then the end “Bryan tells me some of the riders are using bikes now” 😀
