[Goanet]Are helmets compulsory for cyclists abroad?

[Cecil Pinto]

Recently my cousin from Toronto sent me photos of his kids riding their 
bicycles in his own driveway with helmets on!! He tells me it is compulsory 
to wear helmets even within one's own private protected property!

Are there such helmet rules for cyclists (non-motorised) in countries other 
than Canada? Would appreciate some input from GoaNetters based abroad.
