Traffic accidents with bicycles are very frequent, since bicycling has become increasingly popular as a means of transportation and a sports instrument. Therefore, there are many bicycling victims in casualty hospitals. ⋯ Wearing helmets by motorcyclists has clearly reduced the severity and frequency of head injuries since it became compulsory. A legislative initiative for wearing bicycle helmets as well ist therefore necessary.
