ODH - you are setting yourself up for abuse out on the road. Is it really so hard to shut
up the critics and wear a helmet, as well as ride on the road? I am disappointed that
you break the law, then come on line to whinge about the results. Yes, it is daft to have
other people to yell at you while you are cycling along, but if you want sympathy, you
can get that subjectively from a court-prescribed counsellor after your sentencing for
bowling over a pedestrian.
Your not wearing a helmet is akin to not wearing a seatbelt because your only driving
2km up to the rail station. Short distance + slow speed = what could possibly go
wrong?
Why not just store a helmet on the handlebars at home; it will always be at hand to put
on when you duck out for a spin.
