And I hope they also taught you about not riding on the pavement, stopping for red lights, and other bits of the Highway Code that apply to you ...

And wearing reflectors and having lights at night.

The number of cyclists in Cambridge I've only spotted because they occluded street lights...

I have a helmet. For a moment I wondered why the receipt had a charge for a "Giro Transfer" when I'd paid by credit card, until I realised that was the name of the helmet. ;-)

I don't know how much I'll use it. They seem to be good protection for some sorts of accidents, but an additional hazard for others (making your head larger and heavier). I'll see what sort of accident I think is most likely...

Only strictly necessary until you are a competent adult cyclist, at which point, cycling helmets become almost redundant.

Reflectors: check.
Lights: check.

I was coming out of a car park today and scared the living daylights out of a young girl haring along the pavement. Luckily I'd seen her before she hadn't seen me, if you see what I mean.

I find the best way to deal with ill-mannered idiots like that is to shout, "OI! THE ROAD IS THAT BIG WIDE THING OVER THERE WITH THE DOTTED WHITE LINE DOWN THE MIDDLE!"
