The series of anonymous pro-helmet postings via cyclingforums here and in rec.bicycles.tech has got
me wondering just why they're bothering. The obvious thought is that it is a pro-compulsion pressure
group who think they can influence cyclists' opinions. I certainly wouldn't put it past BHIT to use
these kinds of tactics, but I would expect them to do it a bit more skillfully. The postings are so
clumsy and obvious that I'm almost inclined to think they're from a small anti-compulsion group
trying to discredit the other side. It's not as if they don't know they've been detected. Looking at
the style of the postings they don't seem to originate from more than 2 or 3 people.
