My comment: I vaguely remember the motoring helmet discussion, I was quite young at the time. Maybe we should have a campaign here in Sydney (Australia) and get cyclists to start wearing helmets when travelling in cars. The discussion of equestrian helmets is also enlightening. I never wore a helmet while riding a horse on my grandfather’s farm, though I did hit a tree once at speed with my head. Luckily it was a very rotted branch and just crumbled.
