  1. I have seen the FacseSaver helmet, complete with Action Man
    branding and alarmist propaganda on the box, in Halfwits.
    Not seen one in a proper bike shop yet. Ugly and pointless
    were the two things that sprung to mind. But enough about
    the BeHIT logo on the box...

    It was being pushed alongside a pedal kart. Clearly riding a
    four-wheeled pedal-powered vehicle is so dangerous as to
    require full-face protection. I will write to Halfords and
    ask why they don't push knee and elbow pads and full body
    armour in kids' sizes to go with it, since it is only a
    matter of time before some poor child riding one of these
    contraptions suffers a nasty graze ina crash. Always
    assuming that they can make the thing move weighed down by
    all that "protective" equipment.

    May contain traces of irony. Contents liable to settle after

    88% of helmet statistics are made up, 65% of them at
    Washington University

    It's being marketed as a toy! Do they know something
    we know? :-)
