Petition Make it a legal requirement for cyclists to wear a helmet

I feel that the Government should make wearing a helmet a legal requirement for cyclists.

I have noticed that many cyclists do not wear helmets, even when traveling on A roads with a speed limit greater than 30mph.

More details

I know of people that have been saved due to their wearing of a helmet and also people that have been killed for not wearing one.
