Why I wear a helmet | video

I made this video yesterday... Err and I forgot to say in the video that my absoute top trumps reason for wearing one is to prevent total head squishing!


Today after I uploaded the video this advert by Scottish cycling was banned...


The main reason for banning the advert is that the cyclist at the end of the video is cycling in the primary position without wearing a helmet. The Advertisihg  Standards Agency deemed this 'socially irresponsible' see the full article here...
Personally I think it is a fantastic advert and a massive shame that it has been banned. I don't know if I love being compared to a horse, but I do like the idea of drivers being encouraged to slow down, give me space and pass carefully.

What do you think, do you like the advert? Do you wear a cycle helmet?
