Closed Make it law that all cyclists have to wear helmets.

Closed on

After seeing the damage falling from a bicycle can cause I feel it should now be law for anyone using a cycle to have to wear a cycle helmet ! More bicycles are now capable of the same speeds as mopeds and scooters and some electric bicycles can reach speeds in excess of 20mph! lets make this law..

Studies show that wearing a helmet can make it 70% less likely that you suffer major head trauma should you fall off or be involved in an accident while riding a bicycle. If you think your to cool to wear one spend an hour in the NCCU and think again.
We have rules and regulations for many things less damaging lets make this law and save lives.
