Cycling is dangerous
How do you meet that remark in a constructive manner?
I am trying to answer an fairly active recreational cyclist who has made this claim in the Swedish cycling newsgroup. I don't think he is correct and I would like some facts and data that back up my thoughts about this. The cyclist who posted this says he always wears his helmet, even when cycling to the local store for some bananas. He is an active sky diver, but does not wear his helmet then because he has time to protect his head with his hands if necessary when landing. There are other posters than I am discussing things with who are in favour of the proposed mandatory helmet law in Sweden. Personly I think that cycling (with or without a helmet) is a safer long term activity than playing computer games or watching TV, but now I want some feedback from others. I also feel that a mandatory helmet law would be a dangerous thing because people would stop cycling. Garry Jones English Cyclist ResIDING in Sweden. |
