BDifficulty 2/5

Under the rules in force from 1 October 2026, must a cyclist wear a helmet on a long uphill gradient of an interurban road?

Correct answer

Yes, a long climb does not exempt the rider.

Yes. Article 118.2 applies on interurban roads and no longer contains the former exception for prolonged uphill gradients. Use an approved or certified, properly fastened helmet. If you need rest, stop somewhere safe; do not continue without a helmet because of the effort of climbing.
