If you want to read about the benefit of wearing a helmet while
riding a bicycle, all you have to do is research the matter.

That's what the Department for Transport have done, and despite their
commissioned report RSR30 suggesting there are clear benefits, the pro
helmet road safety minister has concluded that "the Government knows of
no case where cyclist safety has improved with increasing helmet use."

Go here.

or go to www.cyclehelmets.org for a set of references from all sides,
include sceptical, which will show you quite clearly that the research
you've turned up is one way traffic and includes much that has been
heavily criticised and debunked.

It may further help if you work in a hospital and can see first hand
just how bad at evidence based science many clinicians are.
