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.
