Closed petition Make it law that cyclists must wear crash helmets
Closed on
Make it law that all cyclists must wear protective headwear when out on the road.
In 2015 - the last year for which statistics relating to accidents caused by cyclists are available - two pedestrians were killed and 96 seriously injured after being hit by a bicycle. But every year more than 100 cyclists are killed and more than 3,000 seriously injured on British roads – the majority by motorists.
