Sir Bradley Wiggins has changed his mind on compulsory cycle helmets

QUOTE:

"Whether it's winning the Tour de France or world and Olympic time trial gold, or breaking the UCI Hour Record, in recent years if you've seen Sir Bradley Wiggins on a bike it's almost certainly been a Pinarello.

And he'll have been wearing a helmet too - as the UCI rules require - but he has said in the past that he believes all bike riders should have to wear one.

Today the man who is the biggest star in British cycling has been snapped riding a Boris Bike in London, shown in this tweet from the capital's Santander Cycles bike-sharing scheme - and what's more, without a helmet.

One of Wiggins' predecessors as a world and Olympic champion as well as a wearer of the yellow jersey at the Tour de France, Chris Boardman, told road..cc last year that cycle helmets are "not even in the top 10 of things you need to do to keep cycling safe or more widely, save the most lives."

We wonder if that's a view Wiggins now shares?"

The tip of my helmet & base of my bag were badly scuffed but luckily for the main part was OK.

What a disrespectful way to describe those people, who, it can
reasonably be assumed, have done you no harm whatsoever.

Re Post Subject : No he hasn't

Poor old Numb-nuts.

He makes a post with a particular subject - and he quotes his source,

The only difference is that the article he quotes has as its title:

Has Sir Bradley Wiggins changed his mind on compulsory cycle helmets?

and Numb Nuts post becomes:

Sir Bradley Wiggins *has* changed his mind on compulsory cycle helmets


I think he may not be not very bright.
