Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas，a Welshman，says he believes cyclists should be forced to wear helmets.Thomas told The Sunday Tunes Magazine that a helmet law would help keep cyclists safer.
"Wearing helmets should become a law，" Thomas said. "I always wear a helmet.I've put on a helmet more times than I've worn a seat belt.Wearing helmets is not too hot，and you don't look stupid -no reason not to. "
Thomas' suggestion is contrary to the belief of Cycling UK，the UK's national cycling charity，which have said there is no good reason for forcing people to wear helmets and that the law could lower levels of cycle use.
While riders like Thomas have to wear helmets in bike races since 2003 only two countries，Australia and New Zealand，require all cyclists to wear a helmet.Some other countries enforce helmets for children only.The highway laws in the UK don't require helmet use，only suggesting cyclists use one.
Chris Boardman，British Cycling policy advisor，said that a helmet law would mainly do damage through a drop in the number of cyclists.
"All over the world，countries with the highest use of safety gear（裝置）are the most dangerous for cyclists，" Boardman wrote in 2017. "Wherever helmet use has been made a law，there has been no drop in head injury unless the number of cyclists also drops.
"About 110 people are killed each year while cycling on our roads，but almost all of these result from collisions（相撞） with cars or trucks，where the protection offered by a cycle helmet is negligible.
"In the UK 1 in 6 deaths - nearly 90，000 per year - is as a result of physical inactivity related disease.Clearly，any measure proven beyond doubt to lower people's probability to travel by bike，will almost certainly kill more people than it saves. "

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
