On the motor cycle yes, on the bicycle under protest, the times and places that I ride a bicycle statistically would have a 10 million to one (deliberately exaggerated)chance of having any bearing on damage to my head.If I fell off highly unlikely to damage, if a vehicle drove over my head it would not help. PS there are statistics on bicycle helmets relation to head trauma figures and their efficacy. And what do they tell you? -- -- Regards, Noddy. |

The jacket sounds a bit over the top - that should be a personal choice, They wish to sound a death Knell for cycling. Well, something needs to be done with those cyclists who have either an attitude or are just plain irresponsible in traffic.

There is no consensus on whether helmets themselves are effective, useful, or worth either promotion or compulsion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_helmet_laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycl...k_compensation Bikeshedding this is unlikely to be productive. |

With a visible number cyclists could be identified when they break the road rules, couldn't have cyclists obey the road now could we. My old Kronan 3vxl herrcykel came with a rear license plate.

Would like to see cars with name, licence number and photo. Better yet, a solid connection rod between bumper bars and gonads. THAT would sharpen attention and reflexes of car drivers. Or reduce their tendency to reproduce! T. |

I cycled with an "L" plate for a couple of years. It was tremendously effective in making drivers give me space. |
