    But if you weren't wearing it they wouldn't have attacked in the first place.

    In the comments below the news article, someone has clearly copied & pasted a load of anti-cycling arguments from some UK newspapers. How weird is that?

    Try telling that to the guy ahead of me the first time with no helmet who had to go to A&E to get stitches. Or the guy behind me the second time who lost his buff. Fortunately when the buzzard decided there wasn't much nourishment in a buff it dropped it in the road, the next rider picked it up and it found it's way back to the correct head

    Load of B/S about being upset about being concerned for a childs welfare.

    Clearly he's hoping his excuse will fall favourably with the judge ...... being the US, it might :?

    It's better than saying I shot him cos I'm a f****** nutter . :roll:
