Whether it is acceptable to appear on television, representing CSA, in a T-shirt or not, it can never, under any circumstances, be acceptable for any representative of a cycling body to be seen cycling without a helmet on. Besides the fact that it is against the law to cycle without a helmet, someone in a position like the subject of this thread should set a good example. Unfortunately I have never seen CL/LE wearing a helmet other than at races/funrides, where it is obligatory to do so. No matter what his contribution to cycling is, this is just not acceptable. If he has been cycling with a helmet since he has taken up the position (I don't know when that was and can't remember when I last saw him cycling) I apologise outright for jumping the gun.

Slightly off topic, but what do you do if your time does not show up at all? Has happened to me in the past even though my chip has worked fine subsequently. Despite numerous emails WT never gave me a result. The website says if your results are not showing you must, inter alia provide "Any contact details of someone who cycled with you". I could not provide this because I didn't know anyone who I cycled with. I am a funrider and all my friends cycle leage. What do I do? At the end of each race, just in case my chip did not register, acost any strange cyclist I happened to cycle with and take down their full details?

The helmet debate? Was he on his indoor trainer or does Assos make helmets disguised as caps?
