I can't see helmet compulsion for adults ever coming in. The cycling lobby
is huge and when under attack or when needs must, closes ranks and comes
together.


Wishful thinking my old fruit.

The public at large will see it as justice and penance for all those V
signs given out by cyclists, all those riding on the pavement, all
those "Get on the motorway", all those jumping through red lights, all
those ignoring pedestrian crossings, all those .......

Get the drift?

It will happen - just a matter of time.

Why do you think that some of the ****wits here are actually
anti-helmet?

It is nothing to do with whether helmets are beneficial or not per se;
they just do not want more and more cyclists to wear them (as is
happening each year) as the baseline is not far away.
