Just proves that advocates of helmet laws refuse to admit they want the
law for the sake of ego-plain and simple. They admit it reduces
scyling but "who cares" attitude.
"In their response in the BMJ to the latest research showing failure of
helmet laws, three members of the Canadian medical community and one
from the American medical community appear to be acknowledgeing that
helmet laws reduce cycling. In an incredible attack on the author
however, they scrape deep to the bottom of the barrel by saying
"without evidence that those who allegedly stopped cycling rode enough
to confer a heart health benefit or that they did not take up another
healthy activity in its place, Robinson (the author) cannot conclude
that decreases in cycling are harmful to health."
So that's it folks. Based on the perverse logic of these zealots,
helmet laws should be implemented and lower levels of cycling accepted
until it is proven that there is a resulting loss of health benefits. "
