agree 100%, it's daft that a 16 year old kid on a 30 mph limited scooter is by law required to wear a helmet tested to a minimum standard, yet on a push bike that might well do 40 mph + down a long steep hill there is no requirement and helmet standards are a lot lower, brain injury is brain injury, and even at 10 mph the tosser in car that punts you off your push iron will be imparting a lot of energy |

Glad your still here. Went out on my hybrid today as I have put the other bike in for a repair after the accident and a service. Cost, �275! could have got the FL2 serviced for less. |

Your so right. I have reached some of them speeds, but was at low speed when I came off. �My knees are still scared and the only protection you have is a helmet. I often see parents with their kid not wearing any protection. It makes my blood boil. |

I haven't owned a bike for years. I once cycled approx 8 miles around Carsington Water and promptly suffered from DAT (Deep Ass Thrombosis) |
