The decision of the Board of the Directorate of Professional Activities of the British Medical Association to lobby for cycle helmet compulsion for adults and children is causing a stink in the medical and cycling worlds.

Sign this online petition. It will be handed to the BMA.

Please pass this link on and let’s show the BMA they’ve picked a fight with the wrong people.
