Tourist Tony:
EF, you will be responsible because you were not in a car.
Access Legal Guy:
recent case from a court of first instance - Can't see it being appealed as it appears to make sense.

Access Legal Guy:
Another recent Case - very interesting for those who have Highways issues and also club riders.

Regulator:
Whilst you're at it, perhaps you could have a word with your company and ask why they think using scare tactics with kids is a good idea?
Tacky to say the least. Shoosmiths is off my list of reputable firms of solicitors...
Access Legal Guy:
My response is detailed on the comment thread 18th August.
The helmet part of the sessions is only a very small part of what is delivered and it's unfortunate that those voicing their opinions have not seen any of the sessions.
Many of the schools that we visited either discourage cycling by not having any facilities for bikes or have a 'mandatory' helmet policy for pupils wishing to cycle in. With that in mind, should we be invited in again I'd be happy to say yes, talk about the very basics of what helmets are designed to do, talk about the basics of the brain because I would rather see children cycling to school than delivered to school by car from circa 2 miles away.
