Make bicycle helmets compulsory when riding a bike on a public highway.
Time & time again we see bicycle helmets saving people’s lives & yet it isn’t a legal requirement to wear one. A Cochrane review suggested helmets reduced the risk of injury to the head and the brain by a substantial 65%-88%; and the upper and mid-face by 65%. Sign to save lives and help the NHS.
