I've heard there is no federal law that requires bicycle helmets if you are 18 and over. Can anyone confirm this??

Thanks.

Answer
In general, no. There are some park bicycling trails where there's a signs saying "Helmet required." Others say under 18 has to wear a helmet. But for the most part, no. I live and bike in California and I don't wear a helmet unless I'm riding my motorcycle. Then it's a state law.

For Bicycles not motorcycles. Do you have to have a helmet on?

You are required to wear a helmet on public roadways for bicycling and skateboarding if you are under 18.
