tricity. I take your point about HGVs. Death on London's streets is most likely to come from an HGV. No helmet will save you from one of them. Helmets can, however, save you from a life altering injury. More accidents result in those than in death.
I have to say, however, that the attitude of non cyclists can be amusing. After an accident earlier this year when I suffered unpleasant but healable injuries to my buttocks and elbow, numerous concerned friends said "I do hope you were wearing a helmet". To which I replied "Yes but sadly not on my arse or my elbow."
