They do say that that Willmelling, all the time, rather than campaigning to improve safety around schools so kids don't crash at the hands of drivers. (Just like the story up-thread about the fire chief's call for helmets after his daughter was knocked off by a man in a van.)
If all the money and energy that is put into shouting about helmets (and as you know wilmelling, faffing about with them as a cycle trainer when you could be teaching them how not to crash), if this energy was directed as what the drivers should be doing to stop them hitting people (better training for drivers, lower speeds, no parking near schools, proper punishment of risky driving etc), then the roads would really be safer
