I thought you'd been to the Netherlands. Cyclists fucking everywhere. None of them in helmets. 

Would you cycle on British roads without a helmet?

I have, yes. I don't wear a helmet walking around there either. 

[lifetime fan]

Then you’re daft as fuck. 

[cloggypop]

No, I just know what the fuck I'm talking about.

I seen the standard of driving here every day and have worked with patients with an ABI. Worrying about looking daft because you’re wearing a helmet is just fucking stupid. 

[cloggypop]

It's fuck all to do with looking daft though. Stupid is commenting without reading the actual articles posted.

Have you seen the state of driving in the UK? 

Try Vietnam. Roads full of idiots who pay little or no notice to the few road rules they do have including which side of the road to drive on. Helmets (a legal requirement) are a joke. Many (especially young men)  don't wear one or just a baseball cap. Most of the helmets, which cost about £1.50, wouldn't give any protection if hit with anything heavier than a balloon. And as for the loads they carry.......

One of the issues with cycling in the UK is the general shitty attitude motorists tend to have about cyclists. Drivers just don't feel like they have a right to be on the road and have no patience if they are even briefly held up when trying to pass. Naturally, the driver's attitude tends to be telling cyclists what to do and that that they know best.

Yeah I like bikes but no way I'd do it on the roads here. I remember Chris Boardman was appointed some kind of riding ambassador and he said he rode about three miles on the roads here and shit himself. His mum later died riding on the road.

I think he also wrote an article after that happened saying why he didn't think helmets should be mandatory

Nah mate, sorry you're wrong on this.

 

I'm a very competent rider, spend most weekends flying down mountains and forest trails on bikes and I feel more safe doing that than when I use my road bike for the occasional commute to work, the amount of near misses I've had due to driver negligence is frightening. I wear a helmet, not because I think I will fall off of my own accord, but because I don't trust others sharing the same spaces.

 

It might be different where you are but I have seen first hand incidents on the road in the UK that once seen you would never ride without a helmet again.

And I'm sure I can find an article that says the opposite.

 

It boils down to if I'm riding my back at above average speed on a main road and get knocked off my bike by some clown who is too busy titting with their phone instead of paying attention to their surroundings then I'd rather my head was not cracking on the road or bonnet of a car without the added protection. Will it stop me getting hurt? Probably not but it will reduce the impact and risk.

If you feel safer wearing one then do so. You may well need it if you are going at speed. The science doesn't seem to back up making them compulsory though. Nobody is calling for everyone walking to wear one, a comparatively more dangerous activity. There's no need for choosing not to wear one putting you in a thread with this title.

Hahahaha imagine claiming to be an expert in 'not wearing a helmet'. 

[cloggypop]

Nobody is though.

I'm not particularly arsed if someone does or doesn't wear a helmet. That said, it is safer to wear one than not wear one. No expert needed to confirm that. Just common sense.
