Struggled a bit on air today.
I fell deeply in love with bike racing when I was 13 and have never got over it.
But.
It's only bikes.
And racing.
People are more important.
I'm a dad now and it really made me stop and think.

Every single UK cyclist needs to play their part in preventing our passion from being outlawed. Do not ride in groups at all. No gaps, no friends only, nothing. Get lost in the lanes and trails safely by yourself but NOT IN GROUPS. Be the rule. Not the exception.

So, so important to read the below. The helmet breaks to save your kranium. What it doesn't stop is you brain smashing into the inside of your kranium. Concussion is deadly serious and our sport still has a lot to do.
Thanks for this Tom
One of my favourite swannies never let the DS put spare helmets in the race follow cars. Even actively would take them out when he saw them there. Why? Because if you're helmet is broken from a crash, you probably shouldn't be riding.
