New Helmet Regulations: What You Need to Know
For years, helmet use has been strongly advised for cyclists, but now, many regions are implementing stricter regulations. These often involve mandatory helmet use for all riders, regardless of age, and specifying certain safety standards the helmet must meet. This means that older helmets might no longer be compliant, so it’s crucial to check the certification labels on your helmet to ensure it meets the current standards. Ignoring these regulations can result in hefty fines, so staying informed and compliant is vital for safe and legal cycling.
