New on @FactCheck: Should we make cycle helmets compulsory?
"
Nothing particularly new, though it does include -
"The study also rejects an assertion sometimes made by the anti-helmet lobby – that helmets can actually increase the risk of a rotational head injury."
@bradwiggins Just to confirm I haven't called for helmets to be made the law as reports suggest
Not according to Wiggins. Apparently!

However Dr Ian Walker, travel psychologist at Bath University says that helmets are a red herring in the debate about cycling safety. "Pushing for helmets for cyclists and nobody else is basically really weird and illogical. For every cyclist killed in the UK, there are seven or eight pedestrians, and they are killed the same way: being hit by cars," he told Channel 4 News.
