Whatever the arguments are for or against helmets, Boardman should not be striding out on his own when representing the pro cycling lobby. He is an example to the youth, and should be thinking more deeply about the issues. When challenged about not wearing a helmet he mentioned how many suffer head injuries every year whilst walking, and claimed cycling was thus 'safe'. Why on earth he thought an arbitrary fact somehow supported that view I cannot fathom.
Mr. Boardman, thousands more die each year choking on their dinner than swallowing swords.
