To Posh to put cycling helmets on your children

I cannot believe the amount of adults/parents who wear cycling helmets and not put on helmets for their children while pillioning on THEIR bikes or those 'wooden' carriages. Do you want your children to survive if knocked over by a car on these dark nights or not......plus WEAR HIGH VISIBILITY AND LIGHTS ON BIKES.Also cyclists STOP RIDING THROUGH RED LIGHTS AND GIVE WAY TO ZEBRA CROSSINGS....YOU DO NOT OWN THE ROADS

No the tradition of hating on cyclists on this forumIs as old as the forum.  But the cyclists fought back.

This 20 year old Forum seems to be failing ... one wonders why?There were such friendly interesting posts in years gone by which had the "must read" tag...but these days it's almost a "forget it"

No it’s accurate hence your bleurgh of a response.

Paul Campbell ● 41d

Inaccurate as usual. Never mind, you'll get it one day.

I'm interested in balance and I've looked at the scales. On one side there are drivers killing nearly 2,000 people a year and seriously injuring scores of thousands. And on the other there is air.

As ever, the only 'balance' in which you are interested is the one that stops you falling off your bike.

N V Brooks ● 41d

Nope can’t say I did nor that I’m interested.

I trust you caught the damning report about cyclists’ behaviour in London on the news tonight ?  Please don’t bother just bouncing back with your zealous tigger pronouncements on drivers - we all know that they can be as bad - that doesn’t however absolve cycling sins !

You really are a predictable bore Paul.

37 minutes before you ranted, what a bloody failure.a

Actually Simon I have news for you. We do own the roads. Get used to it. However I fully support your last sentence with regards to drivers. They really should stop driving through red lights, they should give way at zebra crossings, stop playing with their phones at the wheel, stop idling their engines, stop speeding and stop parking illegally and on pavements. When we've got them to do that they will be on much safer ground to have a pop at cyclists.Also it is about time they wore driving helmets.By the way are you the guy who got a knock on the door from the plod for threatening to shoot Councillors?

Wow, over thirty minutes and no response from the veloviles.Fully agree with the thread started BTW.
