Regarding the Bradley Wiggins call for legislation requiring cyclists to wear helmets, do we really want to have more Health & Safety busybodies policing the roads and arresting miscreants (perhaps even marching them to cash points to pay instant fines there and then as the Labour Party once suggested for "anti social" elements)?

I'm not a keen cyclist myself and would not advise cycling in London.

But I do not want to restrict the right of others to cycle when and where and how they want.

Anyone can see that the real problem is that there are too many cars on the roads and that this is because London and the South East has become too congested.
