Amazing the hypocrisy that there's no sympathy for motorists or pedestrians that "suffer a serious brain injury", and it's even more irrational when they make up over 97% of annual road deaths.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090991993980511979.post-6868925890574779112012-10-09T04:23:59.726+11:002012-10-09T04:23:59.726+11:00Just ignore this pomposity.

Only the speed-freaks wear them and they'll leave them at home when they get on their regular sit up and beg bike. This summer I wore a helmet because I was going to do some cycling in the French mountains, but at home in Holland I go bare-headed.<br /><br />The people who support the helmet are probably jealous because they never learned to ride a bike, or they have shares in the companies that produce them.Harhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418045678461120302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090991993980511979.post-62946098024967606592012-10-09T03:41:33.713+11:002012-10-09T03:41:33.713+11:00Odd how the "evidence" he cites is not i...Odd how the "evidence" he cites is not in it self peer reviewed?
