8.3.4 Use of helmets
‘The Bikeability Trust recognises that use of cycle helmets is not mandatory or always possible. However The Bikeability Trust recommends the use of helmets in line with The Highway Code rule number 59: ‘You should wear a cycle helmet that conforms to current regulations, is the correct size and securely fastened. Evidence suggests that a correctly fitted helmet will reduce your risk of sustaining a head injury in certain circumstances.’
Training Providers should ensure that their approach to helmet use is documented and referenced in appropriate policy documentation, including insurance.’
