What is the best way to get more people to wear bicycle helmets?
• Parents should set good examples of wearing helmets and require their children to wear helmets whenever they ride. • People can promote helmet use by participating in or starting a helmet campaign to require helmets. Enactment of laws requiring use of bicycle helmets, along with education and appropriate enforcement, are likely to be the most promising ways to increase helmet usage in the United States.
