The only dead person I have seen in the UK, outside a coffin, was a cyclist who had just been knocked over. John I guess you've been lucky. I've seen dead motorists, dead shoppers who were waiting for a lift, and dead motor-cyclists (all wearing helmets), but never a dead cyclist. Bob

I believe the law should read, If you won't wear a helmet on your motorcycle, no public funds or insurance monies may be used to support your life or recovery after an accident. Bicycle riding is another matter, but still deserves the helmet. Regards, Bob S. On 11/1/06, Mat Maessen [EMAIL

Your wise neurosurgeon might care to reflect on this: (http://www.cyclecraft.co.uk/digest/effectiveness.pdf) ... the average distance cycled per person in the UK each year is only 62 km42 (and in the Netherlands only 850 km43), so the average cyclist would expect a serious injury only once in
