Wiggins's Helmet

Post by Broom Wagon »

Poor chap gets his pelvis run over by a bus in London and Brad tells us what we need compulsory helmets. Anyone know where I can get a pelvis protecting bus strength helmet?

Did the cyclist not go on the inside of the bus?

There is an eyewitness report from another cyclist on the Internet. I saw it via my twitter feed. It's truely auful.

Yes he went down the inside of the bus which was turning left, cyclist was trying to go straight on. A mistake, stupidity call it anything but it's very sad.

I spent the last 3 years cycling in London - its a bit of a jungle but no worse I'm sorry to say than York. In fact I felt safer in London. Maybe I was just super aware.

Helmet or not, be careful everyone, we don't want cyclist road deaths & injury among us here.
