I have closed the sub-forum that previously housed helmet debates and created a single thread for the discussion:
https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-cyclechat-helmet-debate-thread.187059/
I've locked all prior helmet debate threads and moved them to the parent forum: Advocacy and Cycling Safety
This is the only thread on CycleChat where the helmet debate will now be allowed to take place. Any attempts to discuss it outside of this thread or to sideline other helmet related threads will either be removed, locked, edited or moved into this one.
Discussion Rules:
Normal forum rules apply but these additional rules will take priority in governing The CycleChat Helmet Debate Thread:
Moderators are going to be allowed some discrection and may choose to post a request in the thread to bring it back on track before applying any exclusions, but the main point to understand is that you risk losing your right to reply if you do not engage politely and properly with other members.
Please be respectful of other people's opinions and choices and be considerate in your replies.
Cheers,
Shaun
