Just before I went under I told her I didn’t mind having a scar, but if possible could she make it a “Harry Potter-type ‘Z’?”

There’s a simple moral to this story: If you’re going to cycle in Central London, wear a helmet

Anybody who’s ever had a big off will say the same. ESPECIALLY on the road! Bloody fekwit. Glad he’s OK-ish though.

As we provincials say “Toby who?”

I ride around London (or “Town” as we urban sophisticates call it…..sorry Trampus) all the time, just love it. Starting to worry myself, keep looking at all these cool dudes on their fixies and thinking mmmmmm they dont wear helmets, maybe I shouldnt bother. After reading this I’m keeping the lid.

I’ve been riding for 50+ years without a helmet. I’ve never had an RTA. I gave first aid to someone with helmetless head injury 18 months back, and have worn one since. You never know.

lunacy not to wear a helmet in “Town”

i work near chelsea & westminster always use it for my biking injuries, best a&e ive ever used !

A second vote of support for the plastics team at Chelsea & Westminster hospital, who did an amazing job when I fractured my scaphoid while biking last summer. An excellent hospital and a credit to the NHS 🙂
