Should it be illegal to ride a bike without a helmet?
Hi everyone, thanks for your thoughts - an interesting discussion for sure! Comments are now closed.
Despite having been the law for almost a quarter of a century, thousands of cyclists are thumbing their nose at wearing a helmet.
Figures show 29,399 fines have been issued to cyclists for failing to wear their helmet over the past four years, prompting some people to call for a law change.
What do you think? Should we change the law and make it legal to cycle without a helmet? Why or why not? If you don't want your comments printed in our paper, add NFP at the end.
