A young father fixes a bike helmet to his child
SARAH Penn appears to have strong opinions about how cyclists should dress and behave.
We'd like to point out that the adult in the photo she refers to is a cycle campaign supporter who happens to be wearing a 'Hövding' - an airbag which is worn around the neck and widely thought to be safer than a conventional cycle helmet.
The York Cycle Campaign expects cyclists to obey the rules of the road and ride safely, but we also respect that wearing a helmet is a personal choice. Sarah Penn and her supporters might like to pause for thought before casting aspersions in future.
