I'm kind of surprised to read this from those lot at Cycling UK (CTC) but its something I've been in line with for a very long time and kind of vilified for over the years. Ignoring the anecdotal like 'my mate Dave wouldnt have survived wivaaaat 'is 'elmet' and so on, (incidentally my mate has actually had two big 'offs' in the last 8 weeks - the first one dislocated his left shoulder, the second his right wrist, the second time on some concrete steps sans helmet - no damage whatsoever to his head, just pride and Specialized) I like the fact that its choice that is the word.
I like the fact that educating other road users comes first and the fact that Cycling UK is promoting this could give it some headway (excuse the pun) over the health and safety obsessives out there
Anyway read on and, without politicising it, give your opinion either way - I use mine when on unknown off-road trails that have nice head cracking rocky bits but rarely at other times. A recent road ride into town left me ill with all the diesel fumes so busy town riding is out now anyway.
