| Here's a subject that's had plenty of hammer! I have to say though, that anyone who doesn't wear a helmet when cycling off road (other than perhaps tootling along on a canal towpath), is a bit daft. Wearing a helmet certainly saved my bacon when I came a cropper on some tricky single track in Spain. I reckon it might have been a fractured skull without one. Also, the thought of my head connecting at speed with a tree always makes me cringe a bit - trees don't give! Look what damage they do to cars when hit at speed, never mind skulls! Yes.....helmets are a must off road in my opinion. And I always wear mine on road, because I'm use to wearing it off road.

| I only ever wear a helmet if it's a race requirement. I find them bulky and restrictive. I've come off may times throughout my career and have always been ok - tends to be the legs and arms that suffer
Life's too short to be uncomfortable ! I'll take my chances..... Until a law is passed.

| Wear mine every time. Two reasons really, saved a broken skull on more than one occasion and puts money back into the economy every time I have to replace it. True altruism!!! | |

| Every single ride, even if just riding in our close with my daughter to set an example.
Recently a Judge reduced the amount of compensation a cyclist recieved due to him not wearing a helmet!! The judge stated that the cyclist was partly to blame for the severity of his injuries as he was not wearing a helmet.
Helmets no longer weigh as much as much as a bowling ball and the ventilation provided by some models are more than enough.
Some countries a little more forward thinking than ours have made them compulsary!
Off my soap box now! Matt | |

| Got to agree with Matt on this one. ( Although it hurts to say so ) Anyone who rides without a helmet has obviously never seen anyone come off a bike and hit solid tarmac. Nowadays there is no excuse. At the end of the day it shows how much you value your life. Having come off on a few occasions it has prevented further damage to my skull. | |
