I've fallen off my bike and been knocked out cold because I didn't wear a helmet, was on my own at the time when I used to have a back garden course, my mum found me, covered in blood, so yeah it should be compulsary. I've also had accidents on the road aswell and travel'd at silly speeds on the road down hill's, it should be made compulsary. Well if you have to wear a helmet on a 50cc motorbike, and on banks there not hard to over take on a push bike, why should push bike riders not have to wear helmets? Stefan.
