Great article. He's convinced me. I'm going to get me one of those motoring helmets!
Well presented argument and he doesn't even mention risk compensation.
Nice. Speaking of helmet debates, we've not heard from the newly reserected BtBS for a few days. He didn't push it a bit far again did he?
It might have been the anti-semitism he was barred for, not the anti-helmet rants.
Really? I missed that one! Blimey.
I assumed the mods caught up with him starting up as a new user. I think I mentioned before that one of your posts about cibm/btbs had disappeared. No idea which topic now though !
