That same thing happened to a friend of mine over here in the states. He was taking his new helmet for a test ride on my bike and he said the bird just aobut gave him whip-lash. At least you weren't hurt or worse, overreacted and layed it down...

That happened to a bloke out riding with his son near Easingwold in York. Unfortunatley it knocked him out and he was killed.

Happened to me as well.
Doing a "spirited pace" coming home from Stratford once, and a pidgeon flew in to the side of my helmet. I reckon I was quite lucky, as I didn't see the bird, so I didn't tense up (as if preparing for impact). I was relaxed, and unaware of anything until something hit the side of my head, and then upon checking my mirrors, all I saw was a large spinning grey objects, with feathers flying off it. I don't think he made it... ![]() |

Don't think it survived A pigeon is pretty big to hit at that speed, mine must have been a sparrow or somthin' |

Another reason why the helmet law is not simply an infringement of our human rights.
