We may think that the principles of design for cyclists and the facts behind
cycle helmets are general knowledge, but they sure as hell ain't.
Went to a meeting of cycling officers last week (I won't name it so that the
conspirators can't be identified) and two comments stuck in my mind:
"I'd better wear a helmet then" (when informed that the ride would be mixing
with motor vehicles)
and
"I can't understand why all these cyclists insist on riding on the road when
there is a perfectly good shared use path"
and these were cycling officers! No wonder it's such hard work campaigning
for cycling.
