How many cyclists not wearing helmets have been killed?

Just a thought as to whether helmets really do save lives.

How many cyclists not wearing helmets have been either killed or badly
injured, compared with cyclists who do wear helmets?

Now, now Alan. Playing the judge who asked "Who are the Beatles?" is

I did vaguely wonder if some of his recent posts were forgeries - his

took his Olympic standard touring times seriously.

I was serious, I wonder whether the fuss about helmets is worth while, for
about a hundred years cyclist have not worn helmets, so why have they
suddenly appeared?

Please - rather than stir up this always-heated discussion again, have a
