Jersey has recently introduced a law requiring children younger than 14 years old to wear helmets while cycling. So the debate here in the UK continues.
Unfortunately, the inconclusive and ambiguous results of the research done to date, allows both sides of the argument to claim they're 'right'.
With the way our culture is developing, I personally think we'll see a helmet law and possibly a licensing law created before this decade's out. Because obvs sticking a plastic foam casing on someone's head and a number plate on their bike will prevent them being crushed under a ten tonne lorry.
