Same with protection against terrorism, vs preserving our rights.
Boris has a problem. As you can see-he is not built for exercise but at least he is setting an example by getting on a bike.
When I started riding- I got a helmet but it was months before it was second nature to "Always" wear the helmet. I'll give him a bit of Leaway at present as he is new in the job of Mayor of London. Whether I'll give him leaway on other Mayoral duties- I reserve judgement.
