Helmets
There’s no doubt that a certain amount
of equipment can improve cycling safety,
particularly at night. On the other hand,
however much equipment you have,
there’s no substitute for cycling skills - see
page 12 - and a full awareness of other
traffic. When you buy a cycle helmet, it’s
important to check that it’s
manufactured to a proper standard.
The minimum legal requirement for
any helmet sold in the UK and the rest
of Europe is that they are CE certified
and conform to the EN1078 European
Standard.
Lights
It is a legal requirement to fit front and
rear lights. The front must emit White
Light and the rear Red. Check and clean
them regularly to ensure they are fully
functional.
For full information on lighting
regulations refer to the following

library/regulations/lighting-regulations
Once a helmet has been in an
accident, it-must be replaced.
The shell may have been weakened
and the liner will be less able to
absorb shocks. Remember that some
manufacturers offer free replacement
of crash-damaged helmets.
