Further information: Bicycle helmet laws by country
Some countries and lower jurisdictions have enacted laws or regulations which require cyclists to wear a helmet in certain circumstances, typically when riding on the road or a road-related area (such as a bicycle lane or path). In some places this requirement applies only to children under a certain age, while in others it applies to cyclists of all ages.
Research indicates that bicycle helmet laws reduce bicycle fatalities and injuries.[1] Large increases in the rate of helmet wearing usually take place after helmet laws are passed.[2][3] Evidence is mixed as to whether the helmet laws lead to less cycling.[1]
