If I want to know how to cycle safely, I consult a cycling coach, not a

This is essentially what they are doing, much to the irritation of the

Get over it Guy.

The BMA are made up of intelligent highly educated people who are
capable of assessing the relevant evidence, applying common sense, and
concluding that it is more beneficial to wear a helmet than it is not
too.

They encourage the public to wear a helmet.

It is a bit like you looking at all the evidence and then encouraging
your kids to wear a helmet.

It is called being responsible.

It's not anathema to you - is it?
