That's not entirely true; slow (< 30 km/h) cyclists using the bike as utility to get somewhere almost never wear a helmet here. Spandex wearing speed cyclists almost always do though.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoTrue, but that casual use is huge. If helmets were required, bike use in the Netherlands would plummet to UK or even American levels. Is that healthier for society? But if you are serious about biking, not just casually using a bike to get to work or school, a helmet isn’t really a big deal and probably much more useful.
