Chris Boardman on cycle helmets

[davidk]

This is probably as good a repudiation of the 'helmet compulsion' argument as I have seen http://aseasyasridingabike.wordpress.com/2014/11/04/headways-brick-wall/

I don't wear a helmet on my daily commute but do on my weekend club rides. My choice, should remain that way.

I'm not sure Chris Boardman was bleating on about not needing to wear a helmet. He simply wasn't wearing a helmet.

If anything, the 'bleating' was from those demanding that he should and feigning outrage.
