There was a post about parents who ride without helmets...
One could point out the risks inherent in pregnancy, childbirth, and infancy. And the slightly scary statistical evidence regarding birth abnormalities might suggest that with every year past 30-years-old, mothers are increasingly 'selfish' for wanting to procreate.
But, people take their chances; including every time they have a bath without a helmet on.
I've got gripes with my emotionally bereft parents over loads of things, but not for letting me ride without a helmet throughout childhood and adolescence, in a wide variety of traffic conditions. I know there'll be some serious discussion surrounding my son's helmet use, as he grows older, and ventures further afield. He's not currently wearing one whilst riding his trike or balance bike around the estate or the pavements of EC1.
Just more tired shit for a tired old debate that won't go away...
