"Johnson�s predecessor as mayor, Ken Livingstone, said ahead of last
year�s London mayoral elections that when he first gave he go-ahead to
what would become the Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme, he envisaged helmets
being supplied along with the bikes.

�It was always the plan that you should make certain that people who are
cycling have got a helmet. You almost want to have a way where the
helmet is actually chained to the bike, so people who don�t bring one
can have one.�"

Yes. It is a good place to attach the safety eagle and telescopic
inspection mirror (<URL:http://sheldonbrown.com/5and5.html>). With
advocates like this, who needs detractors? Apart from defarmers,
obviously.
