Flutterby™! : Cyclist helmet use

BMJ Open: Bicycling injury hospitalisation rates in Canadian jurisdictions: analyses examining associations with helmet legislation and mode share Kay Teschke, Mieke Koehoorn, Hui Shen, Jessica Dennis:

Conclusions: These results suggest that transportation and health policymakers who aim to reduce bicycling injury rates in the population should focus on factors related to increased cycling mode share and female cycling choices. Bicycling routes designed to be physically separated from traffic or along quiet streets fit both these criteria and are associated with lower relative risks of injury.

SWOV Fact sheet suggests that byclist helmet use is good, infrastructure improvement is also good.

Agree, infra better than helmets to minimize head injury risk. Data http://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/11/e008052.full.pdf … https://www.swov.nl/rapport/Factsheets/UK/FS_Bicycle_helmets.pdf …
