There can be no doubt that a failure to wear a helmet may expose the cyclist to the risk of greater injury.

The wearing of helmets may afford protection in some circumstances and it must therefore follow that a cyclist of ordinary prudence should wear one.

Sorry old bean - which of my sigs do you find not useful:

------------------------------
Latest DfT Figures: Passenger casualty rates by mode Per billion
passenger kilometers:
Killed or seriously injured:  Pedal Cyclists : 527    Pedestrians 371
All casualties:  Pedal Cyclists : 3494    Pedestrians : 1631
------------------------------------------------------------------ 

I don't wear a high-viz vest - I do not wish
to wear something that makes it harder for drivers to recognise shape
and movement in daylight.

"Primary position" the middle of a traffic lane.  To take the "primary
position" :  to ride a bike  in the middle of the lane in order to
obstruct other road vehicles from overtaking.

A term invented by and used by psycholists and not recognised in the
Highway Code.

Highway Code Rule 168 : "Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass."

No use to you?

View on helmets:

Several studies provided solid scientific evidence that bicycle helmets
protect against head, brain, severe brain and facial injuries,
as well as death, as a result of cycling accidents

All of them, but I was referring to the body of your message which
would fail under the "otherwise useful" clause.
