My Brother is going to France over the weekend and is taking his mountain bike with him to get around. We are having a debate coz he doesnt want to look like an idiot wearing a helmet but i think its safe to wear one. Does anyone know whether there is a Law in France which states if people have to wear helemts while riding a bike? And also are the streets over there lit up fairly good or are they quite dark at night? Cheers peeps!
Answer
No helmets are optional.
But like the UK, people who are serious about their cycling, wear them,- not so much in an urban environment.
France is an excellent place to cycle (don't know about MTBs though) I've cycled in the South on a few occasions, their roads are better than UK roads in many respects and the French love cyclists (again, unlike the UK!)
I hope to be going over again next summer.
And no, take good lighting with you, rural France isn't too hot on street lighting, the towns are generally ok though!
Enjoy.

How many of you guys actually wear helmets when you ride your bikes?

I mean like beach cruiser bikes.
Answer
I always wear my helmet. They aren't compulsory where I live (The UK), and I'd guess that only about half of the cyclists that I see are wearing them.
I've been thankful for my helmet when riding a motorbike, but never actually put my cycling helmet to the test yet.
I don't see what difference the type of bike makes, the ground is just as hard whatever type of bike you fall off.
