Yes Elizabethrose, OH was knocked off coming home from work by a young driver a few years ago. Luckily only cuts & bruises, though the bike was a write off and needed months of insurance correspondence. He's been a keen cyclist since childhood & has all the gear, but the issue of whether cycle helmets can do more harm than good in certain situations is hotly debated amongst the cycling community & he chooses not to wear one. I don't know what to think about that, we've often had the conversation, but it's his body & he's more knowledgeable about cycling than me, so I accept his choice & no longer get involved!
