Spokes will not, after this issue, publicise charity rides or other events involving helmet compulsion.
We will also only circulate flyers and give website links if articles, adverts, etc are not helmet-dominated.
We call on other organisations concerned about public health to do the same.
Bravo !

Can't say I'd noticed - but then I don't look.
Are any/all audaxes and sportive 'compulsory'?

There is not a single instance of the word 'h*****t' in the Audax UK handbook, though hats, gloves and waterproofs are mentioned. Therefore, I presume it is a matter of personal choice on audaxes.

I've only done two audax events, everyone had a helmet on. Maybe insurance not available without them? I hope the Spokes line is that public health focus should be on dangerous drivers? As given that there is no decent evidence one way or the other .....(sorry bored myself there) .... Will read the article first before comomenting
