Helmets again

soup said:

It has often been said that the manufacturers won't/can't even say
helmets save lives, is there any who have sailed close to the wind on
these claims [1]

[1] In the "panels" opinion.

None I've seen to remember. Practically all helmet advertising by the
makers (rather than sellers) I've seen seems to concentrate on how well
vented and/or stylish it is.

May help in disscusions with mother-in-law, mind you not sure how much
I want to argue with/antagonise her may just stay schtum (to her) for a
quiet life and to allay anymore of the "fly-by-night" "wastrel" comments
(no one is good enough for her daughter).

So in fact she is actually well informed and wants you to wear a helmet
as it increases the chances of removing you from her family's gene pool ;-)

We're looking for a new house at the moment,and SWMBO reported this
conversation with my MIL:

"If we bought this house, Mark's trike could live in the garage."

"That *thing*? It can go in the garden and rot!" 8-O

On that basis I think the trike should live in the guest bedroom, and
you should invite the MIL to visit. In the winter.

At least she didn't say "He..."

Could be. Is she insisting you ride in the cycle lane too?

I get that sort of thing all the time from my mother, who really ought
to be on my side.
