The short version of this article is that we should all not wear helmets, use lights or protective clothing, appear uncontrolled and ideally be a woman in order for car drivers to leave the maximum amount of room when overtaking.

If you see me out this weekend ill be the one wobbling about without a helmet, in a flowery dress with a wicker basket tied to the bars

Angela Lee chief executive of the Bike Helmet Initiative Trust and a nurse consultant in paediatric trauma said:
"It's plain and simple that helmets are effective," Ms Lee continues. "If you think of people who have mobile phones, computers, I bet they all have covers on to protect them. You have a skull protecting your brain and if you know anything about computers you know that if you damage a computer you can't load the programme. That's exactly the same with your brain."
yikes It seems a human person actually said that. Oh dear, where do they wheel these people out from?
