  1. Thought a big list of organisations that are opposed to compulsion would be
    worth mentioning in my letter to MP. So far I've got:

    British Medical Association bma.orgCyclingPU Cycle Touring Club
    ctc.org.uk0305 CTChelmetpromo8brf.doc European Cyclists' Federation
    ecf.comindex.htm

    Are there any other organisations out there that are against compulsion?

  3. What about "Don't BHIT" as the name of the campaign?

    I feel a t-shirt coming on.

    Tee-hee! "Don't BeHIT" perhaps?

    Slightly more subversive: a logo of a bull in union flag colours (a la BeHIT logo) and the
    letters "ULLS"

    I like the original. Someone should run this up on a batch of cycling jerseys, helmets or caps.

    British Medical Association bma.orgCyclingPU

    "The BMA does not consider that the wearing of cycle helmets by all pedal cyclists when on the
    public highway should be made compulsory at present."

    "The BMA strongly recommends that all cyclists, especially children, wear proper fitting helmets
    which as a minimum should be certified to the EN 1078 standard, but preferably certified to the
    Snell B95 standard. It is also important that helmets are replaced after an accident."

    It would seem that the BMA and I speak as one.

    I'd be surprised if Gonzalez can find a helmet big enough to fit his head...

    This might do the trick. ;-)
