This is probably as good a repudiation of the 'helmet compulsion' argument as I have seen http://aseasyasridingabike.wordpress.com/2014/11/04/headways-brick-wall/


I don't wear a helmet on my daily commute but do on my weekend club rides. My choice, should remain that way.

I'm not sure Chris Boardman was bleating on about not needing to wear a helmet. He simply wasn't wearing a helmet.


If anything, the 'bleating' was from those demanding that he should and feigning outrage.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      I think, from memory for LHR, we are under a holding pattern so if LHR is backed up we may get more planes overhead. There are multiple holding patterns so it is not always ours that is used and it generally depends on the wind direction as to which is used.

      Abandoned along Green Dale. I'm assuming it's been stolen as it looks like it belongs to a 5-6 year old. Let me know if it's yours

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      Let's be very clear some of her friends are cleary trying to say she lost her job due to a media conspiracy. This is nonsense. She lost her job because she broke the ministerial code of conduct - that has nothing to do with the media. Was she under the spotlight because she was outspoken and happy to aggressivley attack any indiscretion of her opponents? Absolutely. But what's that saying: those who shout loudest often have the most to hide...never has that seemed more apt? Given that scrutiny she would have been wise to have been whiter than white but she wasn't and she has paid the price.

      So you are justifying building on the green belt, in Londons case "the lungs of London" which will causes harm to natures ability to turn co2 into o2?
