I'm new to this group so I don't know if this has been discussed before.

There's a great tool available to find such things out - type
groups.google.com into your favourite web browser, then type
'uk.rec.cycling' into the search box and hit search. A browsable list of
recent threads should then appear for your perusal.

Wearing a helmet will become compulsory for under 16's in the UK. I've
read/heard many people complaining that this will deter people from
picking
up cycling, as wearing a helmet implies a dangerous activity.

I totally disagree with this.

What - the idea of making helmet wearing compulsory? Yes, it's a ridiculous
idea, isn't it.

What do you guys think?

Using the aforementioned tool, you can also refine your search to look for
eg Helmet or Martlew - a _lot_ has been written in this group on this
subject.

Btw www.cyclehelmets.org is a good place to look for information on them.

cheers,
