hawkinspeter, what planet are you on with that question? if she was wearing a helmet is it better or worse that she got punched?!?
I'm not sure, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony
I was joking/parodying - apologies if I caused any offence. It's a common theme that the police seem obsessed with whether or not cyclists are wearing helmets whenever there's a bike incident and no matter whose fault it may be.
I'm sure that will be the polices first line of enquiry.
So, was she wearing a helmet? Inquiring minds want to know.
