Last time I was in Germany, I noticed that all riders I saw had helmets,
and I do not remember seeing any without ridng jackets.  I asked a
German about this, and he said it was a law that you had to wear a
helmet and a kidney belt.  By the way, this was in West Berlin, so it
might be different in other parts of West Germany.  East Berlin does not
care how you dress when riding.
