http://www.bupa.co.uk/health_informa...festyle/exerci se/cycling/ And what good advice it gives .. I don't think I've seen a more balanced viewpoint in a long while .. "Choosing a cycle helmet Cycle helmets are VAT free, inexpensive and comfortable. Many authorities, including the British Medical Association, recommend wearing one when cycling. The question of whether or not cycle helmets can protect you in a major accident is still unresolved, but they will offer some protection from low-speed accidents and will help to keep the rain out. When buying a helmet, try different models to find one that gives a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the internal pads and fixing straps are adjusted so that the front of the helmet runs horizontally just above the eyebrows, not halfway up your head. Look out for helmets that conform to one of the international safety standards. The most stringent of these standards is B95 from the SNELL Memorial Institute. Just one word of advice, now that you are fully helmeted, gloved and highly visible don't use this as an excuse to take more risks!" -- Paul ... (8(|) ... Homer Rocks |

It looks like the author bothered doing some Actual Research rather than just punting out the usual "common sense" which has to be a Good Thing. Quick hunt-ette through my employer's sites (the NHS, that is) reveals nothing so obviously targeted as BUPA's cycling site.

So not _too_ surprising that they don't peddle feelgood nonsense. The problem a lot of us have is the feel *bad* nonsense that's usually trotted out, often along the lines of inferring "you are doomed if you do not cycle in a helmet in a marked cycle lane". That is nonsense, but it doesn't make me feel very good...

" The question of whether or not cycle helmets can protect you in a major
accident is still unresolved" A juggernaut up the jacksey will be uncomfortable with or without a helmet!! If anyone asks, tell them that their computer came packed in 10 times as much polystyrene and they wouldn't expect it to function after being hit by a car, would they?! Robert |
