Why? You believe the purveyors of overpriced plastic?

And the NHS, the Ambulance service, ROSPA, the BMA and the Highway Code.


You do realise
they're only rated to withstand the impact of toppling off a stationary
bike, and have been implicated in neck and rotational brain injuries?

But only by cycling pressure group halfwits.

Try the following simple experiment;

Drop a weight 'X' onto your head from distance 'Y' whilst wearing a
cycle helmet.

Repeat without the helmet.

Record which experiment causes the most pain & trauma.
