    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In a pandemic that isn't a valid consideration. Isolation always means loss of social interaction and it's arguable that those acclimatised to it are least affected. And in these internet days face to face interaction is even less important. I live alone so isolation is the norm for me but...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think there is any right in this subject. Take those Oriental countries who are doing the opposite to us and vaccinating the young 18 to 59 first, and the fact that many of our experts say that has considerable merit. It does have, the argument being that it is the very active, widely...

    This was my original statement: "cycle helmets do not reduce deaths and serious injuries. Indeed there is clear evidence that they increase those." But now please read my statement again. Then you may see that I have made no false statement since I have NOT said helmets cause more serious...

    I've said I will be providing in due course. I'm speaking of on the roads where the UCI doesn't legislate of course. However your response shows very clearly where your lack of understanding is. I've made no false statements. .

    No it is not, cycle helmets do not reduce deaths and serious injuries. Indeed there is clear evidence that they increase those. I haven't the time at this moment but I will be presenting a thread in the Electric Bike forum showing why that is and why the government is so determined not to...

    But that would happen anywhere, but for the fact they don't have the tube. Nut cases are not confined to London, they are everywhere, in cities, towns and villages. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Meanwhile at least 8 million other Londoners were totally unaware of this incident and living a safe and peaceful life. One can repeat your story in many other areas of the country and the West Midlands with less population often out competes London for violent crime, but somehow it's always...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Something like 95% of all Londoners live in one of the world's safest cities. But like all large cities we have a small minority who don't seem to want to be safe. But since they mainly confine themselves to attacking each other it's of no concern to the rest of us. .

    I was motorcycling from 1950 when I joined the trade and there was only the all steel ACU helmet which wasn't tolerable for normal road use and only protected the crown of the head. Almost no-one used those on the road at the time and certainly none of our customers did. The most popular head...

    Cycling to me has always been just an alternative to walking so I don't dress up for it For most of the over 70 years of my cycling there were no cycle helmets anyway. No helmets either for 23 years of my motorcycling, they were also a later invention. Year after year the great majority of...

    Glasgow I can well believe, but Dundee I found somewhat genteel. Perhaps the fact that at that time I was a guest of John Brown, the Queen's Right Honourable Lord Lieutenant of Dundee and his family influenced that impression ! .
