Irresponsible cyclists... 17:34 - Aug 12 with 28141 viewsSwanjaxs

Walking my dogs down to Singleton Park this morning and coming towards me on bikes were a father and daughter (about five or six year old) just outside Tesco Express by the bus stop the daughter had a bit of a wobble lost control and fell off her bike, no harm done as they were going uphill and at low speed, she got up straight away, now here's the thing, neither had helmets on, so being a safety conscious type of a bloke i stopped and suggested he put a helmet on his daughter even if he was stupid enough not to, he told me to fùck off and mind my own business.... In my opinion the sooner compulsory wearing of safety helmets for cyclists comes in by law the better! I'll get off my soapbox now 👍

Certainly not on a pavement with pedestrians on it, it was 9 .30 and busy, so you condone her doing that? Have you passed your cycling proficiency test?


Never mind a proficiency test, an IQ test would be a Getgo for this plum 🤔

They weren't on the pavement mate, they were on the highway, ok it was 7am and the road was quite, but the question remains... do you think it's a good idea to ride a bike without head protection?


You said you were 'walking down singleton park" so they would have been on a footpath through the park and not a road.

Did you mean you were 'walking down TO Singleton Park'?

There is a difference, then they could have been on the road.

On the contrary, it's clearly you 2 that need educating.

Drivers are on the road by licence.

Drivers pay insurance based on risk hence the rising scale and varying costs based on age and vehicle type.

Cyclists are such a low risk that insurers deem it unnecessary to have it made compulsory.

Why has no Govt introduced this?

And yes, I suggest my kids and grandchildren wear a helmet on a bike.


Good for you 👍 I'll ask you one more time before I get bored with you shall I? ..... do you think... that... wearing protective headgear .... should be brought in... for bike riders/cyclists..... on safety grounds? ... I broke the question down to make it easier for you to understand 👍 YES OR NO 👍

At the very least it’s massively irresponsible to not make your child wear a helmet.

The Netherlands example doesn’t work. The entire country and its infrastructure is geared up for cycling and prioritising cyclists and their safety because it’s so widespread there.

The correct answer! ... I think Andy has been overdoing the pre pay cycles in Amsterdam by the sounds of it 🔥

Oh dear oh dear, there is so much wrong with your reply.

.... I suggest you educate yourself about how roads are funded.

Come back and apologise for your ignorance when you have done so.

What about all the cars on the road these days that are 'Zero rated' for VED?

As for insurance, most cyclists are covered on their home contents insurance, some also have private insurance, myself being one of them, others have it for being members of British Cycling.

May I put it to you that the father and daughter were just riding bikes and not your average cyclist.

As for helmets, take a look at the Netherlands, most cycles in Europe, not compulsory to wear helmets and least fatalities in Europe.

Don't even go there on the red lights...... even though its against the law to jump a red light, it doesn't stop drivers doing it. The consequences of vehicles jumping lights are far worse than if a cyclist did it.

The problem these days is that people overlook irresponsible driving because its so common.


I am not in the argument.
But I have spent a lot of time in Holland.
There are cycle paths absolutely everywhere, and most have insurance.

Anyone seen that looney round town who has one kid in a seat at the same height as him and the other kid in a trailer behind that looks like a little Wendy house on wheels? Riding on the road too. Mental doesn’t do it justice.

I'm not ant-cyclists at all, in fact we need more cycle paths, but even on well regulated cycle paths the need for head protection (and elbow/knee) is common sense surely? When your on two wheels your vulnerable to all sorts of unexpected scenarios, just think a lot of cyclist don't wear headgear for pure vanity reasons 🤔

Nonsense. Stop just for one min being a snowflake.
The compulsory wearing of helmets would cost more lives in the long term.
