No, if he hadn't been wearing a helmet, he would've been more careful
and wouldn't have crashed. Crashes were almost unheard of in
professional cycling before rules were introduced requiring the use of
helmets.


Looks like the required safety equipment for rbr should be tall rubber
boots.

Very tall.
To keep our feet of the the spunk spilled by people who let their
chain get yanked by Greg!
I'm not sure whether Greg going for the helmet troll is worse, or the
fact that he got people to respond.
Including me too I guess.

Yes, but did he have two guns?

I'll bet you **** with a helmet and heart rate monitor. Probably a good
thing, too.

I don't know why he pulled out, I've landed on my head more
times than I can remember, and it's never kept me from climbing
back on the bike.

Boy, talk about pulling something out of one's ass!

Like, does the name Casartelli ring a bell?

On the flip side, the recent death of a helmeted racer here in
Portland, Or. shows that a helmet is not a free pass to
immortality. http://tinyurl.com/7pefv I raced that course for
years without so much as a close call. The finish is so wide and
the set-up is so long that there is rarely a mishap. This poor
guy just got in the wrong place and bit it going full blast with
a helmet on. -- Jay Beattie.

I am selling tin foil hats though. Not free, but at an affordable cost.

Mostly without a helmet obviously.

I've gotten my bell rung more than a boxer, and it ain't fun. But one
time I did get back on the bike and rode to the hospital so they could take
care of a broken bone. The ride wasn't bad, but the service at the hospital
stunk. They wheeled me into flu ward, and I had to endure listening to all
of these slugs coughing and wheezing. What a bunch of babies. They all
thought they were gonna die. It was during a flu epidemic 5 years ago. I
can still hear them, " oh Doctor........please help ......me.....I
......can't ....cough breathe. I felt like slapping a couple of them, so
they could regain some dignity. If any place needed a suitcase of courage
it was that place.

Flu is a serious illness that kills thousands of people every year.
