Drivers give helmeted cyclists less room�|�Oddly Enough�|�Reuters.co.uk
Worrying findings – especially as I’m about to start a cross-London bicycle commute in October…
I’ve always been skeptical of a helmet’s value in a crash – I remember some earlier designs increased the risk of twisting your neck in a fall – but have worn one on the basis that some additional protection is always welcome and so that my visibility in traffic is increased: a bright white helmet stands out more than my head (although the hair’s getting whiter by the month…).
Maybe the blond wig is the way to go though… Worrying!

One Comment so far. Leave a comment below.Having dramatically landed on my head after mountain biking my front wheel into a large rocky instant stop in a stream in yorkshire I can vouch for the benifits of helmets. After watching me perform the above my brother commented that none of his mountain bike club had ever got across the stream.
