Is this a trick question? The answer is yes. In many places it's a legal requirement.
- Zombieball 10y agoThank you! I'm probably heavily influenced by the fact that I live in one of these places (where helmets are a legal requirement). All I could think while reading this is "yes, you definitely should always wear a helmet!!"
- throwaway7767 10y agoOut of curiosity, is cycling a common mode of transportation where you are from? I recall seeing studies showing that helmet-laws generally coincided with low use of bicycles. Places where cycling is extremely common (like Denmark and Holland) never seem to have them, and it's uncommon to see cyclists using them unless they're doing something particularly dangerous (riding in traffic, off-road, etc).
- uzoodoo 10y agoI would guess in places where biking is extremely common (like Denmark and Holland), it's also a lot safer to bike (dedicated bike lanes, etc.)
