I had literally just finished writing in my diary that I believe Bradley Wiggins will do nothing for cycling in this country, when I noticed headlines on the internet. Apparently Mr Wiggins is calling for compulsory helmet use.
Quote : ' cycling is a dangerous sport'.
Well, I don't know about that. I have no interest in sport. I'm not an athlete.
Cycling is commuting, shopping, running errands, meeting friends, exercise and sightseeing.
A helmet will not offer me much protection from a ten ton bus being piloted by a person who is committing the offence of dangerous driving.
There is lots more I could say, but as a cyclist I have long since learned the futility of pissing in the wind.
