None of our family has ever owned or worn a helmet.
No need to.

That's not the view of the magazine you took the article from.

Oh and note that the cartoon child in the article has no helmet on
either, nor his father in the inset.

Yes I noticed that, I've emailed them pointing out how irresponsible of
them it was. I included a link to your re-publication of the article in
case they don't have a copy handy to refer to.-

*Do* let us know how you get on.
We have a troll called "Judith", (maybe you know her?) who writes to
her MP imploring them to clamp down on cyclists enjoying themselves,
but I've never heard of any of her "successes" in that regard.

I thought people had told you about posting and rubbishing other people using
BP systems whilst you are at work - this reflects badly on you and badly on the
company.

I also have a pension fund which has BP shares - I think I shall write to them
or to BP.

Anyone have an address - or contact please?

None of mine ever used them.
I suppose an equivalent is putting the pedals back on, but it's a far
less dramatic transition.

What did you use with your child/ren?

Started off giving them the bike but not the pedals, with the saddle
set low enough for them to paddle along with their feet.


Sounds a bit harsh, TBH.
They must have only been scooting along at a very low speed using them
as a "hobby horse".
Although when I learned to ride in 1962, my Dad told me I rode off
with no stabilisers from the start.

Of course I know of Judith, I've been here on usenet as long as you
have. I'm also a regular cyclist and used to participate regularly on
u.r.c until like many others I got totally fed up with Chapman and his
gang of anti-helmet zealots.

Feel free to cite the message IDs where I advocate banning them. Or have
you fallen prey to the fallacy of the false middle?

Incidentally, under what ID did you participate regularly? pcb1962 has
fewer than ten posts before this week in my local cache, which goes back
to 2004.

Sure you did - who were these "anti-helmet zealots"?
I've never seen any.

Yes, I noticed that too.
I wonder what their ID was for the past 14 years.

Hello Porky

Didn't Lou Knee advocate banning them?
