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

By your logic drivers (or pedestrians for that matter in case they get knocked over crossing a road) should wear a helmet just in case, as should pub goers, hill walkers, people in kitchens...

In fact i have no issue with helmets and anyone wishing to protect their head should consider wearing one. Problem with cycle helmets is that many people (especially non cyclists) default to the pro helmet position because it seems common sense. That default discourages some people from cycling thinking it is much riskier than it is. Not cycling is so much riskier

No, you misunderstand me —all I'm saying is that if you've got one with you wear it.
