Please don't wear helmets*!!

[Dan B]

Helmets are like those little warning stickers that are found on more and more vehicles... I've seen some telling pedestrians not to walk near the vehicle. FFS! It was a plumber's van!

Saw that the other day, on the nearside door of an Escort van. I laughed so hard that the people sitting in it probably heard

At the end of the stage he showed the damage to his helmet so it did prevent some damage to his head!

I think I'll keep wearing mine too.

Do you have a photo of this damage to the helmet?

Cant find a photo, but a few words from the man himself (and Cycling Weekly's confirmation that the helmet was indeed damaged) should suffice...

“I feel alright. I head butted the wooden pole thing. Luckily, there was a barrier, which stopped me falling. I was all tangled up in the bushes and wire. Some guy pulled me up and I was all right. Some French people like us!”

Thomas’s helmet showed the scrapes of the dangerous head collision, but his humour proved he was still the same cyclist who helped Froome win the 2013 Tour.

It's an honour to have all these pro racers in the thread. Shall we get Danny MacAskill along too?

Or would that just be a bit of a trial?

It's easy to find every post that any member has made on here, did you not realise that? It took a couple of minutes. It's sad when people nail their colours to the mast over and over again, and then deny them. Anyway, carry on.

Over and over again? I've already posted a link to a post clearing up any confusion, twist as much as you like to force your own agenda whilst refusing to answer questions yourself, anyway, carry on

Yes - I can see the forum has a search function. I'm just find it a little odd that you could recall a specific opinion the guy shared four years ago.

Wow, that's a great video clip, if I had the choice of that fall with or without a helmet I know which I would prefer

Not to fall at all?

A fall with a type of helmet that's actually proven to work?

A fall into something soft?

My post was in response to the video posted.
You're suggesting a different situation to the one I responded too, so yes what about it?

Not a fall?
The road is soft?
