Nope, you dont need a full face helmet to get down Snowdon, actually, you dont even need a bike. But, if folk can choose to use a bike, they’re also welcome to use a full face helmet, 8″ forks, pogo stick or whatever they like (as long as it’s before 9am or after 5pm of course!).
Personally, if you’re going to ride at any real pace,I reckon it justifies a big lid more than most of the stuff I’ve ridden at Morzine / Les Gets, that’s proper Danny Harte wannabe, mincing British stormtrooper territory.
This thread is STW in a microcosm, excellent!
