The Bicycle helmet laws – Background Briefing

The bicycle helmet laws

[ABC Radio National]

Background Briefing: 2010-09-19

Some say helmets make cycling more dangerous and others that they actually cause brain injury and the law should be repealed. The debate makes climate change look like a walk in the park.
