Although different studies appear to arrive at different conclusions, and although gormless fuckwits keep coming on here and telling other people what they should and should not do, the whole 'helmet debate' is a load of absolute bollocks.
All it achieves is further animosity towards cyclists, a minority road using groups who are relatively harmless, whilst completely ignoring the multitude of deaths caused by dangerous motor vehicle driving, especially because motor-vehicle drivers do not wear helmets.
Ignoring head injuries to cyclists may be folly, but the 'helmet debate' is simply another proxy method of diverting attention away from the main issue which ought to be discussed, which is the huge burden to society both in health and financial terms, of careless and dangerous motor-vehicle drivers.
