Should young pedestrians be made to wear cycle helmets?
"A seven-year-old boy is in a "critical but stable" condition in hospital
after being knocked down in Midlothian. Lothian and Borders Police said the boy suffered serious head injuries after he ran out in front of a car in Dalkeith. The incident happened in Bogwood Road at the junction with David Scott Avenue at about 13:25 on Friday. Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact police." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...-fife-16016530 -- .

That's not very even-handed is it? |

That's not very even-handed is it? No, I don't know enough of Simon to say I like him, but I certainly don't dislike him and he posts a shed-load more on-topic stuff than many others in here so I don't worry about other stuff as I think his heart is in the right place for the group .. I don't actually 'like' anyone as such, I don't 'know' enough of anyone to go that far. Some posters I enjoy reading and like their style, some I don't, simple as. When has usenet been even-handed? As it happens I think I am usually very even-handed. I have responded negatively to SM in the past, as I have to many other cyclists and drivers. I'm a petrol-head first as well as a cyclist, so my views are mostly mid-stream, I think. In this case I intensely dislike Doug, I'm pretty ambivalent towards most other posters. -- Paul - xxx "You know, all I wanna do is race .. and all I wanna do is win" Mark Cavendish, World Champion 2011. |
