Oh yes. The Dutch are notoriously hard-headed. Did you notice what they did to the sea around here? ;)
In all seriousness, Ed looked into this. In an earlier post (tiiiiime for a treasure hunt, Terry!), I think possibly the second, there is a link to a NYTimes article about it. In a nutshell, the Dutch relaxed their helmet laws in order to coax people to get on their bikes more often. Heart disease or cerebral hemorrhage? You choose!
And not a single helmet. Are Dutch heads harder?
