ok, i’m seeing way too many people on pushbikes without helmets these days. not only are you legally required to wear helmets on pushbikes but it may save your brain…hence, your life. i don’t care if you are just going down the street to pick up some DVDs. …wear a bloody helmet. not a bad investment considering that it may make a difference between a brain injury or a bad headache.
fixed/breakless, singlespeed, road, bmx, whatever…wear a helmet. don’t wait for an accident to make you wear one.
just ask our fyxomatosis founder what a helmet did for him. the article can also be found in urbanvelo magazine.
but in saying that, my helmet/s have saved my head twice, once due to my own fault and once not my fault, only good things can come from wearing a helmet as far as im concerned
