In which circumstances are cyclists not required to wear a helmet while riding?
Active and passive safety
The regulations allow cyclists not to wear a helmet on long uphill slopes because the risk of an accident is lower due to the reduced speed required in these conditions.
Explanation
Cyclists are **required to wear a helmet** to protect themselves in case of accidents, as they are more vulnerable than other drivers. However, there is an exception to this rule: **it is not necessary to wear a helmet on long uphill slopes**. This is because, when climbing a slope, the speed is generally low, which reduces the risk of serious injuries in case of a fall. Additionally, the physical effort of climbing can make the helmet uncomfortable, so it is allowed not to use it in these specific circumstances.
