TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Local all-age bicycle helmet ordinances in the United States: a review and analysis JO - Journal of law, medicine and ethics A1 - Merrill-Francis, Molly A1 - Vernick, Jon S. A1 - Porter, Keshia M. Pollack SP - 283 EP - 291 VL - 47 IS - 2 N2 - Bicycle helmets protect against head injury. Mandatory helmet laws likely increase their use. Although 21 states and Washington, DC have mandatory helmet laws for youth (variously defined) bicyclists, no U.S. state has a mandatory helmet law that applies to all ages; however, some localities have all-age helmet laws for bicyclists. This study abstracted local helmet laws applicable to all-ages to examine their elements.
