But the rules, besides official compulsoriness, are inculcated into the kids right from infancy; all kids in kindergartens are taught to use helmets (genuine cycle gear) even riding 3-wheelers.
And, the regulations have creditable medico-statistical support viz accidents leading, besides occasional death, to often serious, lasting brain-damage.
Would support my theory that none of our politicians ever used one. Alfred

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.
