Dr Peter Ward, GP: "The biggest thing that puts people off riding a bike is its dangerous image. Cycling is not a high-risk activity but is being dangerised by the promotion of helmets."
Franca Tranza, spokesperson for the BMA: "we need a big public information campaign to highlight the dangers of not wearing a helmet"

Got any examples of words which are not made up at some point? I'll grant you the nonsense though.
