Bicycle helmets -- Are they mandatory in Europe
Thanks all for the brief discussion.
I conclude that while the helmets are not legally required in Europe, you are likely more safe to be wearing one than not wearing one. Now, for me, I have to decide on the risk/reward question of: Is the additional safety provided worth transporting (or buying locally) a bicycle helmet for what will likely be a sum total of less than 50km riding over 2 months. Thanks for your thoughts. Gord |

Thanks for your thoughts. Gord After my wife crashed last year on a small hill when a tire failed. We always wear helmets now. She luckily did not get hurt, and did not have a helmet, but we saw how easy it was to have an accident that had great potential to cause head injury. |
