There were no helmet studies in 1940 because nobody was gullible enough back then to believe that cycling was some kind of extreme sport!

Guy Wasn't there a folding bike used by the parachute regiment? I'm sure riding a bike around Normandy on D-Day 1944 would qualify as an extreme sport, regardless of how good your troopers helmet was. Kids today have got it easy. |

No evidence that it was ever the slightest use to the paratroopers, but apparently much sought after for cheap and economical motor transport in continental Europe after hostilities ceased... riding a bike around Normandy on D-Day 1944 would qualify as an extreme sport, regardless of how good your troopers helmet was. The Dutch army had a bicycle unit that I presume saw some degree of action in 1940, though with the speed of the occupation I would imagine not very much.
