Evidence of effects of helmet laws

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

The European Cyclists Federation [1] is asking for ideas to fight cycle helmet laws.

Evidence suggests that where wearing a cycle helmet has been made obligatory (Spain, Australia, New Zealand) levels of cycling have gone down. The ECF is building a helmets web page and wants to feature different findings and experiences from around the world. Contact Randy Rzewnicki at randy@ecf.com.
