Study shows that cyclists would be safer if they wore body amour and helmets

Study is wrong, cyclists would be safe if they never left the house BUT THAT IS NOT CYCLING, THAT IS CALLED SITTING!

It is no longer an activity when you are sitting on the side. I was part of a trial this year where the argument was the defendant was wrong because the plaintiff had been injured when the tube being pulled behind the boat tipped and through here in the water. The option is to sit on the beach and have people throw water on you.

How are you going to ride with body armor on? How can you experience the speed if you can’t pedal fast?

Why are we doing this research? More importantly was it really research? I suspect if you have everyone ride in a giant nerf suit they will be safer. If you have everyone go cycling in a more stable machine surrounded in metal you might be safer (a car).

However the study does recognize the value of helmets.

“Trauma to the head is still the number one injury in both cycling groups, which underscores the importance of wearing a good-quality, properly-fitted helmet,” said Dr. Chad Ball, the senior author of the research paper.

Good quality properly fitted…….had he seen bike helmets? Has he ever been outside?  LOL

See Helmets aren’t enough, urban cyclists should don armour, says study
