    Why is the Federal Minersiter for traffic so difficult for cyclists a recommendation for … Wearing a bicycle protection helmet similar to that since 21.11.1978 existing "Regulation on a general guideline speed on highways and similar roads" adopt. In the highway-directional speed V is recommended not to drive faster than 130 km / h for cheap road, traffic, visual and weather conditions. In the case of cyclists the decision would "Helmet or no helmet" with all the associated possible consequences in the self-responsibility of the cyclist.

  2. Review some facts – risks in relation
    – The main reason for head injuries in clinic statistics are car accidents with 50-60%. Bicyclists are 1%. Do not wear car riders usually a helmet? – In Australia in the State Victoria, the number of cycling after the introduction of the helmet duals have declined by 30%. This allows you to calculate that this creates more heart attacks than there is even head injuries. Factor 1:20. – The risk of head injuries has declined neither in Australia nor in Canada. Maybe only the careful cyclists give up cycling? Conclusion: A helmet does not hurt, but the helmet duty. A helmet duty in the car would save much more people. Laws of sugar consumption, fats like in Finland would still save much more people.

  6. Strictly speaking
    So there is no helmet duty in Europe in Europe – except for children. Which is absolutely reasonable. the "Helmet" in Spain – outside closed villages – is a joke… In Spain, there are definitely fewer helmets than in Germany.

  7. A duty
    just means that one’s own responsibility is circumcised. I endanger my health and not the health of others. An adult person should be allowed to determine his life and his health itself. Schumi had a helmet and what has it?

  8. Also the belt at the car

  9. Life in full body protection
    Who ventures out into life risks something. Undisputed there are bicycle accidents, but in comparison with the accidents in the household are very low. Ergo, you would have to wear a protective clothing all day. Everyone who gets out of bed would have to wear a protective clothing, even before you enter the very dangerous bathroom. An attachment always and to intend to protect how he has to protect himself should be left to the people himself. Who feels safer with helmet (and then faster and reflective rest?), should wear a helmet who means no helmet at 15kmh, after all, you will be overtaken by joggers without helmet, it should leave it.

  11. Helm
    That seems to me as if people refuse vaccinations. Thinking they do to the doctor or anyone a favor, or they are just hardening because helmet wearing is prescribed by the legislator, or just off. The only significant value value is worth cycling, namely the head remains out. They squeeze that it is headed to the head is ramponed in a fall. The example of Schumacher, his fall is comparable, should actually think. Anyone who rejects the helmet risks losing the minds or he has already lost him.

  12. A helmet is an important protection
    After all, you have only one head. The wearing of the helmet does not bother. Denncoh I’m a helmet. Everyone has to know himself how he can protect himself. Even a few euros more pain to achieve the head is not really. Everyone should understand that protection is not for others but for themselves. It has nothing to do with that you can drive a great bike. The problem is often the other, any sticks or other problems that lead to an accident. Who does not understand today that he has only one head and therefore should carry a helmet, which must not complain about any consequences. I think only if adults leave their children without protection. They can not estimate that yet

  13. Nice weather driver
    I do not know when you drive, but the helmet botheres myself at daily cycling. In summer too hot, in winter, no warm hat fits down, in the rain he is to holes. Most of the Helmbufter does not run with the bike or only in good weather, if it is still pleasant despite helmet, never in brooding heat, mushrooms or pouring rain.
