  1. Picture the scene; labouring up a very high canal road
    bridge at 9.15pm. It's dark, the streetlights aren't good,
    and the bridge has a humped and very blind summit. It's also
    very narrow, and known for speeding motorists.

    I get to the summit, lights on, and almost go straight into
    [censored] on y frame full sus MTB wobbling in middle of the
    road; helmet, lycra, the works. No lights.

    Me: 'Get some lights, you prat!' MTB: 'At least I'm wearing
    a helmet!'
    Mf: 'You're f'in invisible!' MTB: 'F off, you're
    unsafe w...r...'

    So there you go: helmets obviously make you immortal.

    *sigh*

    You haven't been listening to the parliamentary debate about
    helmets? Someone pointed out the number of helmeted cyclists
    riding without lights down Whitehall.

    Probably MPs ;-)

    The correct response under these circumstances is to seize
    the offender warmly by the throat, hurl him over the
    parapet and into the cut, then shout after him "and how did
    your helmet save you from THAT, tossblanket?!" Bonus points
    if you are able to do this while crossing the Manchester
    Ship Canal.

    We wish to point out that we neither recommend or condone
    throwing people into canals, as it may frighten the fish.
