    Schumacher's Helmet

    More important than helmets , is proper cycling lanes away from the traffic . Now if one of our so called muppet leaders came up with this . It would get my vote . This has to be the only country in Europe why cyclists are classed as badgers

    Schumacher's Helmet

    Yes I agree with flecc , on average most cycle journeys are very un eventful , most cyclists ride at a very safe pace , so minimising any risk.

    Schumacher's Helmet

    Helmet debate will always be an issue . Had a met giro which connected with a tree stump with me in it. It saved all my teeth and possible head trauma . Split right in half but did its job . Until you have a fall and then think what if . Another incident on the road bike doing 35mph on a...

    why do you have more than one bike.......

    What's even more exciting is how far the ebike technology has come in 5 years. For me the companies driving a very niche product should be applauded . Hey I may have 6 ebikes come spring 2014. In 10 years hover ebikes.
