According to a Forsa poll reported by Zeit, 54 percent of respondents favor a mandatory helmet requirement for cyclists. The representative survey also reveals a significant gap between attitudes and behavior: only about a third of cyclists say they always wear a helmet.
The poll was conducted by Forsa. Zeit did not provide further details on sample size or the survey period. The debate over a legal helmet requirement in Germany resurfaces periodically but has yet to gain a political majority.
