I can see how a pedestrian might be in trouble but the lamp post would have bounced off the force field generated by the cyclists helmet.

You've got it completely the wrong way round.
The force field only operates around a cyclist's head when he *isn't*
wearing a helmet.
Using a helmet instantly disables the force field (which would otherwise
have made sure that he flew along after a collision or fall with his
head hovering above the ground at a height of 2cm or so) and renders him
vulnerable to injury.
It's worse than green kryptonite, apparently.

So you agree it is better not to wear a cycle helmet.

Precisely the point. If you hit your head from 2cm a cycle helmet will protect you from minor, non life threatening injuries, it won't save your life.

If you have some actual, peer reviewed, evidence to support cycle helmets then please post the links.
just because your priest told you to wear a cycle helmet or burn in hell does not count.
The government once said that when cycle helmet use passed a certain point they would make it mandatory.
Since mandatory helmet laws have been proven to reduce the number of cyclists you should definitely get a bike and wear a helmet.

Always wear a helmet – this reduces the risk of head injury if you're in
an accident. To be effective, the helmet must be level on the head, with
the pads inside touching all the way around and the strap comfortably snug.

Wear appropriate clothes and protective gear. Hi-visibility and lights
