Just had this response to my email of yesterday
Dear James,
Thank you for your comment about our recent news article "BIRT salutes GB Olympic Cyclists"
We entirely stand by our support for any move which will encourage people to wear cycle helmets. However we do not wish to add to any speculation about the sad death of Mr Harris and we have therefore removed any mention of his death from the article.
We will, however, continue to raise awareness about brain injury and the benefits of cycle helmets as we believe the evidence strongly supports this approach.
Regards,
Helen.

They are still swerving on explaining their position on who else would benefit from helmets (such as pedestrians, car passengers etc).
