I think I am missing something (brain, probably) in this debate about helmets.
Frankly, I really don't give a toss whether helmet wearing is compulsory or voluntary - after two
or three instances where wearing a helmet has saved me from a premature (in my opinion, others may
beg to differ) end, I simply would not dream of cycling without one. And I would not let my kids do
so either.
And anyone who would serious consider riding on or off road without one needs their head examining
(and probably will, by a medic if lucky, or a pathologist if not) It is a basic, sensible
precaution.
I understand the arguments about personal freedom of choice - but anyone with the time and energy on
their hands to get exercised about this could find many other, more pressing issues to get their
teeth into.
Rant over chaps, as you were!
