I had to look just to make sure...

Wearing a helmet whilst cycling is not a legal requirement in the UK.

How long before it is. There have been some statements that cyclists may need insurance to ride, a license to ride and can be fined for speeding over 20mph. It could be shit, my wife sends me lots of these things! Tell that to a 10 year old.

I rode when young without a helmet always, took many risks and only came off once. I still have a scar to prove it. Shit happens.
