Many people have taken up cycling in recent years. This is a welcome development because it helps people to remain healthy. But people will not take to cycling if helmet wearing is made compulsory. There is risk in everything and people know how to care about them. It is not the role of the government to stop people from harming themselves. Forcing cyclists to wear helmets is undue government interference in personal choices and is also against democratic way of life.

1
