Bicycle Helmet Research Foundation

cyclehelmets.org is administered by the Bicycle Helmet Research Foundation (BHRF), an incorporated body with an international membership, the object of which is:

"to undertake, encourage, and spread the scientific study of the use of bicycle helmets, in the context of risk compensation and sustainable transport".

BHRF also considers the effect of the promotion and use of helmets (whether on a voluntary or mandatory basis) on the perception of cycling in terms of risk; and the contribution and potential of cycling towards maintaining physical and mental health.

The Policy Statement for cyclehelmets.org gives information about the purpose and scope of this website and the role of BHRF.

BHRF is grateful for the support of its patrons and their acknowledgement of the need for a comprehensive, objective and evidence-based analysis of all the evidence relating to cycle helmets, cycling promotion and health. Patrons assist the work of the BHRF in pursuing its objectives towards this end. Being a patron does not signify agreement with any particular point of view in favour or against cycle helmets.
