Is it required by law to wear a helmet while on a bicycle and can you get penalized if you do not?

I know that you "should" and etc, but I want to know if it's a must.

Answer
It's not a legal requirement anywhere in the UK.

Are bike helmets required where you live?

I got a ticket the other day because I forgot my helmet. I always wear it because it's the law, but I just forgot it. I know I won't again. $25 ticket! Im going to take the bike safety class, then I dont have to pay it, but I can't get another ticket.

Answer
Bicycle helmets are not required by law in the UK. Motorcycle helmets are. I wear one anyway as I ride along busy roads, and at the bottom of a chalk cliff where large lumps of chalk fall down on a regular basis.
