Bicycle helmets
 

RoSPA recommends that cyclists wear a cycle helmet that meets a recognised
safety standard. Cycle helmets, when correctly worn, are effective in
reducing the risk of receiving major head or brain injuries in an accident.
They do not guarantee protection, nor prevent accidents from happening in
the first place, but wearing a cycle helmet is a simple, low cost and
effective way that individual cyclists can protect themselves.

A cycle helmet cushions the head in a fall, providing a last line of defence
between your head and the ground. It reduces the force of an impact before
it reaches your head and brain. The hard outer shell spreads the force of a
blow over a wider area than the initial impact site.

Choosing a cycle helmet:

Try the helmet on before buying it
Make sure you like the type and style
Check it has a CE mark and meets at least one recognised Standard: BS
EN1078:1997 (European Standard) Snell B.95 (American Standard)
Make sure it fits comfortably and securely
Check that the straps are easy to do up and adjust
Ensure it stays in place on the head when the straps are fastened
Make sure it does not obstruct vision
Ensure it does not cover the ears
Check that it is well ventilated
Ensure it comes with clear advice for the user.

Remember:

Helmets do not prevent accidents. An accident can still be very serious,
even when wearing a helmet. So be just as careful, look around for traffic,
dress brightly and follow the rules of the road.

Spy headphones
 

Listen to music on your bike and still hear everything in the background.

They work on the premise that they are so tiny, they never block the ear
canal, meaning that you can always hear what's going on around you, be that
traffic, children or your adoring fans cheering you on. Now I've always had
a far cheaper alternative - the crappy free iPod headphones let in so much
external noise that you can hear a pin drop. The EarHeroSport is very
low-profile though, and lets you pose as a bouncer/ spy.

I just ordered a pair from air hero - they should be with me some time
next week.
I will probably use them on holiday as they are nowhere near as good
as the Sennheiser IE8 phones that I usually have in my ears.

No halfwit, they have recognised that helmets protect the head.

Calcification at the bruise site is what causes long term injury. How
does RoSPA adress this, have they recommended mineral testing in all
people suspected of having some mobility or should I put a sticking
plaster on my finger in case I cut it, instead of my spinach?

Idiot.

They do not guarantee protection, nor prevent accidents from happening in
the first place, but wearing a cycle helmet is a simple, low cost and
effective way that individual cyclists can protect themselves.

It's a low cost suggestion for them as it firmly places responsibility
of injury to the injured party. Mineral deficiencies are already with
many of us and correcting the bigger problem is much more useful than
a foam cap.

What a load of old bollox.

Wearing such an item for road cycling labels you as subservient to
'authority'. This may be approriate if you wish to infiltrate the
organized servants of plutocracy.

Ah. Here we have the real reason behind helmet denial. "you can't tell
me what to do, you're not my mum".

between your head and the ground. It reduces the force of an impact before

Choosing a cycle helmet:

Try the helmet on before buying it

Don't, there are gases emmitted from styrofoam which are injurous to
mucous membranes. This can upset your eyesight hearing and
breathing.

Another load of old bollox.

Make sure you like the type and style

Ho Ho, appealing to the style concious now. Fortunately most people
prefer their head adorned with hair. I like the look of hair and most
honest people would also find this most attractive.

Most honest people would listen to an august body like RoSPA and take
notice of their advice.

Completely ****ing Dagenham.

My bonce has been road tested at 24 mph which is what pop caps have been
rated at.
And I destroyed one with a single stamp the other week when I found one at
Spurn Point.
Bloody useless things.

Did you get compensated for chemical castration, or is that what you
