Wrong. Helmets are useful. My daughter's new secondary school has an
insane policy requiring helmets and parents' written permission before
students are allowed to cycle to school.
So a helmet is her ticket to ride.
No mention of a mechanically fit bike, or of adequate training. Just
mandatory magic hats. Doh!
