Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

Want a reason for buying a helmet? A court recently reduced the compensation paid out to a seriously injured cyclist by 15% because he didn't have a helmet on. Don't give the buggers the chance to screw YOU. Why don't we lobby for a helmet design which is comfortable, affordable, hasthe Snell 95 standard - and doesn't make you look like a total prick.

This will be successfully challenged in due course. Not a reason to buy a helmet.
