Bradley wants compulsary helmet wearing!!!
Just heard/read Wiggins's response to the death of the cyclist by the Olmpic bus is that helmets should be compulsary, sorry but you ARE a complete and utter BERK Bradley

Much as I respect Wiggins, just coz he can ride a bike, doesn't mean he knows anything.

Does he *actually* ride a bike though? I mean like, everyday on the roads for normal everyday things?
I remember one famous motorcycle racer (name forgotten) didn't hold a motorcycle license.
Re: Bradley wants compulsary helmet wearing!!!
Exactly.
I remember a quiz show many years ago. I think it was a one-off. The quiz was all about road safety, driving, road use, Highway Code etc. The contestants were all famous and something to do with driving.
Sir Sterling Moss was on the panel, and guess what? He came last! He was useless.

Oh please tell me you're more informed than you appear to be.

Did you spot the question mark (i.e. this: ?)
It's a question. I have no interest in bicycle racing - at all. I mean, absolutely none. The first I heard of Wiggins was probably two weeks ago.
What I want to know is does he ride a bike, everyday, in traffic for normal things. Or is he a simply one of the many who simply blast round the roads on a weekend?
IME, there's a difference. I find utility cyclists and commuters have a different outlook on such things as opposed to weekend warriors.

The Grauniad report, complete with quotes from Wiggins, doesn't mention helmets at all.

He was on the TV this morning, I'd say he was almost evalengical about helmets (and music/headphones).
I doubt he realised though the guy had been crushed by a bus.

Re: Bradley wants compulsary helmet wearing!!!
I wonder how much sponsorship Mr Wiggins gets from his helmet manufacturer.
Re: Bradley wants compulsary helmet wearing!!!
This is the same Wiggins that could be seen riding around after the Olympic TT sans helmet, right
"42"
