Presumably the requirement for helmets is due to their insurance?

No, paranoia, ignorance, and innumeracy.

Where's Clive George anyway, wasn't this his cue?

TL doesn't engage in tedious crossposting, unlike you, so doesn't get such a
hard time.

According to Don of this parish, temporarily deprived of hot and cold
running Internet by the meltdown of his Windows XP installation (well,
if he /will/ run incompetently written operating systems, what does he
expect) reports that the reason helmets are required is that the riders
are to simulate a professional cycle race. So you also need to be fairly
svelte, and have a good race bike. Whether brightly coloured lycra will
be supplied or you need to bring your own wasn't made clear to me.

Buy your own. As a friend of mine used to say about passive smoking -
the tight gits should buy their own tobacco..

Normal (almost - no .sig yet) service has been resumed ...

The 'gag' is to chase down some poor unsuspecting chap(ess) on a bike to
arrive at a finish line so that the member of the public has 'won' the
race and is lauded as such. When I suggested that that must be the
reason for the h* requirement, I was told, no it was because it would be
seen on TV and therefore should be depicting things properly. I
suggested that he do some reading on the subject of h*.

Though h* wearing is mandatory in any form of massed start competitive
riding in UK (except audax g d +r) so that would be a correct
depiction of a cycle race.
