(And ? let's all hope it'll never be.) Luckily it's only a minority of countries, where it actually is mandatory to wear those ridiculous styrofoam-hats. 5:17 NO, in Germany it is not obligatory to wear a cycle ‘helmet’.

In accident reports? you can often read s'thing like "the cyclist, who did not wear a helmet, broke his arm" ... Even the self-proclaimed bicycle lobby ADFC gives statements like "we are against an helmet obligatory, but everyone should wear one". Teaching people that cycling (as in vehicular) is safe would bring much more people to riding bicycles than any of these FUD campaigns. @fietsya Here in Germany, police and press do their best to make people think cycling is dangerous.

One of my closest friends was hit by a car last year.? She went up and over the hood. The back of her helmet had a crack in it. If she hadn't been wearing the helmet it would have been her head with a crack in it. @fietsya I have had way too many close calls with UPS trucks and 18 wheelers to not wear a helmet.
