Very few bycicle helmets here, only for very young children or road racing. And then you have that one mother who makes her children wear high visibility jackets (she wears then herself to) and helmets. It really stands out. I like to think that it also has to do with the relative lack of litigation comparing to the USA when things go wrong.
