Excerpt

CYCLISTS who wear helmets are more likely to be knocked off their
bicycles than those who do not, according to research.

Motorists give helmeted cyclists less leeway than bare-headed riders
because they assume that they are more proficient. They give a wider
berth to those they think do not look like "proper" cyclists, including
women, than to kitted-out "lycra-clad warriors".
