Breakfast had a feature on cycle helmets this morning. It featured Angie
Lee dropping eggs onto tarmac and someone from the Reading Cycling Campaign
whose own views were too balanced to counter the pro-compulsion emphasis of
the piece. By the way, if you break your leg it can be fixed, if you break
your head it can't. One further observation ... other than the footage of
youngsters doing cycle training all of the pictures of (adult) cyclists
were of helmetless cyclists. Strange that no comment was made about this.
The vast majority of viewer emails and texts were of the 'my little Johnnie
avoided severe head injury because he was wearing a helmet' type. It's
obvious what the BBC's stance is on this subject.
