Helmets again, I'm afraid, but more of a personal perspective than anything else, brought on by reflecting that I have been drawn into spending time that I would rather spend on my bike, working against legions of non-cyclists who want to force us all to wear plastic hats because they think cycling is dangerous, not that they do it themselves at all.
