UPDATE: Hold on to your hats — helmet policy revealed soon

Bicycle Network is pleased to announce that we will reveal our position on Australia’s mandatory helmet laws on Wednesday 31 October at 5pm.

It’s been an interesting, insightful and at times, a difficult and complex process which has spanned more than a year.

It’s very clear that mandatory helmet law remains one of the most divisive topics in the bike riding community.

As Australia’s biggest bike riding organisation, we’ve worked hard to ensure that the review is thorough, unbiased and transparent.

We’ve listened to the views of our members, the bike riding public, as well as health and mobility experts, advocates and researchers.

We’ve also completed an independent rapid review into the existing literature.

We look forward to sharing our position and how we reached it with you all soon.
