I know the two Simons would. |

An old urc poster comments thus.
by BurttheBike Thursday, November 24 2011, 6:08PM .. “PC Heath and his colleagues are to be commended for wishing to improve the safety of cyclists, and many of the measures they are promoting are positive, but there is one exception: cycle helmets. Nowhere with a helmet law or massive rise in helmet wearing because of propaganda campaigns can show any reduction in risk to cyclists, and some research shows an increase in risk with helmet wearing. One might have assumed that if anyone would check the evidence, it would be the police, but sadly, many police forces accept the misinformation and distortions supplied by single issue pressure groups without checking it. There have been cases of children strangled by the straps of their helmet, but it cannot be shown that a helmet has saved a single life. The police are therefore promoting something which has killed children but saved none, not exactly a responsible position. For a few facts rather than the pressure group propaganda, check out cyclehelmets.org -- Simon Mason |

So cyclehelemts.org is nothing to do with pressure group propaganda. That will be why, when they were first set up, their message was considered to be: "Helmets are not beneficial to cyclists (unless the evidence forces us to a dramatically different conclusion.)" No bias there then. -- "You get a real feeling of elation just for the simple act of cycling past the local hospital where there are people of my age who have abused their bodies and suffered all sorts of ailments" Simon Mason |

About time too. Who are you talking to? Oh - yourself, yet again. So we now have a sub thread - with just you - and three posts. Can we go back to the holiday snaps? |
