Reasons for wearing a helmet
We have all heard the arguments on both sides for and against wearing a cycle helmet, after my latest accident, I can see no reason for not wearing one, this is the second time a helmet has averted an accident from being more than it was.
On my way home yesterday a driver turned across my path a collision was unavoidable.
Hitting the car and tumbling on to the tarmac resulted in a trip to the hospital and having stitches between nose and lip and a couple inside my top lip. But there you go could happen at any time to anybody,
Hope to see you all soon.

'Andsome picture, Geoff. Very sorry to hear of your accident - get well soon.
Me too Geoff thank goodness you were not more seriously hurt and although over the years I have never been fully convinced about the effectiveness of cycle helmets but I am coming round to supporting your point of view after my hit by the coach.
On another subject I saw on page 10 of yesterdays Evening Standard, the the driver of a White Transit will face court in February for the death of Frank Cubis.
Geoff. Glad that you are unbroken and unbowed, even if stitched up and shaken up. I hope that you got full details and have contacted the CTC/CUK solicitors Slater Gordon to represent your interests. That is really the main reason I joined the CTC. Nothing charitable about that.
I confess that I rarely wear a helmet on my usually short local shopping trips to Tadworth, Walton, Epsom, Sutton. I must think again about that.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, hope to see you back on the bike ASAP.
Sorry to hear about your accident. I must say you sound very stoical in the face of such a serious incident and obviously in a lot of discomfort. Knowing how vulnerable we can be on two wheels how anyone can not wear a helmet is beyond me. Get well soon.
Sorry to hear about your "incident"; a timely reminder we are all vulnerable. I hope it's not too painful, and you are back on the bike, with a new helmet soon. Hopefully the CTC legal people can get you some financial compensation.
Geoff get well soon and thanks for the reminder that helmets can make a difference. Best frances
