Cycle helmets compulsory?

Safety first! Its like not wearing a seat belt in a car, If you value your life you will do it, regardless if its law or not.

One of the problems is' date=' open any cycling magazine and you'll see pics of professionals riding races without helmets. This doesn't project a good image. Agreed that most of the time they do wear helmets, but it should be all of the time, not most of the time. Maybe I'm missing something about professional riding.[/quote']

 

Then you should not be buying those magazines.

more to the point what magazines are you buying? check the dates. helmets have been mandatory in races for some time, except on the final climb of a hilltop finish. there are often pics of pros training without helmets though.
