I've said it before and I'll say it again (dear readers please see the thread -'wear your helmet stupid!') - it's stupid not to wear a helmet.

ANd I believe some people just have to be saved from themselves - like me. I still have a black eye and a sore head from falling off my bike on Saturday and I was just nipping out for 5 minutes. I was lucky! !!!

I would never dream of driving my car without a seatbelt but it took a law in the uk to make people do this. You only got one skull - its worth £25 (or whatever a helmet costs wherever you are) to protect it. And if it takes a law to make some folks do it, fair enough. I don't care about paying for medical care through my taxes (praise be to the UK Health Service ) but I don't want you lovely folks getting hurt.

I'm just off to write to my MP now you've got me all worked up!
