Which age group of bicycle operators and passengers is covered by Massachusetts’ helmet requirement, subject to the protected enclosed-trailer exception?
Correct answer: Those 16 years old or younger.
Why
Massachusetts requires a properly fitted and fastened approved bicycle helmet for operators and passengers age 16 or younger. A specified exception covers a passenger in an enclosed trailer that adequately protects the head in a crash. Helmets remain a sensible safety choice at any age.
