The Vehicular Cyclist website <http://www.magma.ca/~ocbc>, formerly
the Ontario Coalition for Better Cycling website has recently been
updated with news on UK helmet law developments, Vancouver bike paths,
and helmet design issues.

The website also contains a helmet FAQ and a comprehensive collection
of cycling accident research, opinions and reviews.

Blimey, it seems that not all politicians cannot see beyond the end of
their free lunch !
From the quoted website:-

_That this House notes the substantial disparity between claims made for
the efficacy of pedal cycle helmets and their measured effect in real
populations; notes that the Transport Research Laboratory has reported
the promotion of pedal cycle helmets may lead to increased injury rates;
notes that cyclist injury rates remain unchanged following passage of
mandatory helmet legislation in several countries; and calls on the
Department of Transport to initiate a programme of research designed to
establsih why increases in helmet wearing rates are not associated with
reductions in head injury rates, and why the countries with the lowest
helmet wearing rates are those with the lowest cyclist injury rates_

Guy Chapman's MP and a regular correspondent with him, so that's nearly the
same. Quiet without him, isn't it?

Where is he? Have his employers finally decided he should be doing some
work?
