He seems to prefer his bikes set up like that.

I was actually referring to Boris, but I guess you knew that!
Why do Boris and Jeremy need helmets?
Could it be that they need protection from head injuries generally?

Well, I think that they don't need helmets, but maybe they think they do. Or perhaps they have had a taste of the publicity that comes when they leave the plastic at home, and feel they can do without that sort of distraction.

Astounded that they would ride a bike in a suit, but without mudguards!

I'm pretty sure there have been photos of Boris without a lid.
A recent one was taken outside a restaurant of an evening. So perhaps he gets more "dressed up" for work journeys? (or wanted to look more dynamic and risk-taking for his very-much-younger fiancée)

Maybe he does not really feel the need for one, but panders to Daily Mail readers.

Boris may have many faults, but I really don't believe he gives a <moderated> about Daily Mail readers' opinions!

Not for plebs. They tell you to lock bikes up on the street in Millbank but I wouldn't put bets on them being there on your return. The Westminster Q-Park has free bicycle parking under CCTV.
