Rejected petition Make the wearing of a helmet whilst cycling compulsory.

I would like the government and parliament to make the wearing of a helmet compulsory when out cycling. I still see too many people cycling without a helmet. Adults put helmets on children but don’t wear one themselves? It’s not only ridiculous but completely irresponsible.
