Ooh, I ride a Brompton, and sometimes leave my helmet strapped on the bag - wonder if it was me?
Could we have a helmet free section please?
No. It's dangerous.
might be someone else's helmet
still put it on, I never understood the point of carrying helmets and not wearing them. It's not like he was climbing an Alpine Col on a scorching day, with helmet on the handlebar ready to pop it on again for hurtling down into the valley once more. He was riding a Brompton on the flat, either have a helmet and wear it or do not! Unless he is running a helmet courier service, seems unlikely. Am I getting a wiff of you helmet politics Tony?

you have that round the wrong way
helmets are only effective at low speeds
may as well have on for the ascent where it will work and take it off for the descent where it won't
wrong and quite mad.
