My hope from a new study is that it adds to the body of evidence that I'd hope cycling organisations would submit when the Government has its "reviews of cycle safety laws" with a consideration of making helmet wearing obligatory.
I suspect maintaining the current situation where cyclists have a choice is going to be an ongoing struggle as the pro-compulsion groups push for changes and more Government reviews, etc. hence more scientific research to show there are negative effects as well can only help.
