Re: If you HAD to wear ' proper' gear
the cost of the gear will not be an issue for the newbies, the change in the test will put paid to anyone being able to afford/skilled enough to pass the test. Having been knocked off my bike last month by a muppet who opened his door in lane 2 of the M25 cos his seat belt was stuck I am all for padding on the knees, hands and head for all.

Re: If you HAD to wear ' proper' gear
Outragous idea.Id emigrate to somewhere less authoritarian.
While they are at it why not ban biking altogether?It is far too dangerous,and those who still insist on doing it need to be protected from themselves.

Re: If you HAD to wear ' proper' gear
banning isn;t the issue of the topic though...
it was a wondering whether setting personal safety regulations will ever be increased to include proper gear |

Re: If you HAD to wear ' proper' gear
I went to KFC tonight on my bike, it was raining abit, and KFC is about 3minutes away by bike. I wore my waterproof textiles with hard padding. I would have hated to have to wear my leathers by law. passed a cop car on the way, so I would have been done if I was breaking any hypothetical law.
i didnt die thought, or crash. so i guess that meens its safe? lol ]*at this point ive had a few* |
