Hello,
This is a question more than a comment. I cycle to work in Oxford through narrow hilly streets where cars are parked both sides. There isn’t enough room for both a cyclist and a car, and most drivers give the right of way to cyclists who ride uphill, but more rarely to cyclists who go downhill. Other drivers never give the right of way to cyclists, whatever the situation. Is there a British road rule for the right of way of cyclists versus drivers? What’s the best way to handle a driver who decides to force his way against a cyclist?
Any feedback wellcome. Cheers,
Olivier

[...] I put this low down on the list, because I think the most important safety rules is prevention. If you get run over by a truck, a polystyrene helmet isn’t going to give you much protection. Nevertheless, helmets can be helpful for reducing the impact of some head injuries. But, if you do wear a helmet, I would stress that that you should feel you are now completely protected. You should still cycle with caution – in most accidents a helmet is not going to help that much. See: Reasons to wear a helmet [...]

Indeed the probabltity of a head injury is small but IF it does happen THEN the probability that a helmet will be a of tremendous benefit is very high. I fell off at a very low speed (e.g. 5mph), landed on my head and then on my elbow which broke. I examined my helmet afterwards, and the paint and some of the plastic had scraped off. That would have been my scalp and skull had I not bothered….
