Cycle campaign group Spokes stops publicising events requiring participants to wear helmets
Spokes, Scotland's leading cycle campaign group which covers Edinburgh and the wider Lothian area, has announced that it is to stop publicising events that require participants to wear a helmet in the face of what it describes as ``the creeping growth of semi-compulsion.''
Campaign restrictions for the March 29 local elections went into effect on Wednesday, banning opening and ground-breaking ceremonies and the use of official cars and other vehicles for campaign purposes.
