FSVO excellent.

"For safety, always wear a fluorescent jacket when road cycling. And
never go out without a helmet."

Hmmm...

Not a bad article, but completely let down by "And never go out without a
helmet."

It's unbelievable in this day and age, with all the available reliable
evidence demonstrating irrefutably that helmets have no effect on the death
rate of cyclists, they only depress the numbers of cyclists. And me.

Fluorescent jackets in the dark are about as much use as helmets
anyway.

Well - there's also:

"By contrast, jogging places extraordinary demands on the feet, knees
and hips, and runners risk a host of health problems from stress
fractures to permanent damage to the cartilage, the tissue that lines
the joints, allowing them to move smoothly."

Which is wildy misleading.

And the £97.89 BSO from Argos described as a "Mountain Bike" :/

I've just googled Gethin Jones, and he appears to be an ex-presenter of Blue
Peter and a contestant in Strictly Come Dancing. Ideally qualified to
comment on cycling and safety.

Is the "death rate of cyclists" (whatever it may be) the only important
statistic, then?

No, but as the only reliable indicator of effectiveness, it is certainly the
most important. It's also the measure by which helmet proponents wish to be
used, as they all claim that helmets prevent death.
