<p>The Department recommends that all cyclists wear helmets, as set out in The Highway
Code, and particularly encourages children to wear helmets.</p><p>Helmet wearing is
strongly advised in the Bikeability programme and school children are taught the correct
way to fit them. A 2018 safety review considered mandating helmet wearing for all
cyclists but concluded that this would deter many people from cycling and therefore
any safety benefits would undermine wider health and environmental benefits.</p>
