I'm sorry but as a cyclist I have to call you out on this one. Cyclists are only hurting themselves by not wearing helmets, you are never going to make an accident with a car worse by not wearing a helmet. I remember you being quite upset by the smoking bans, which is clearly somethng that affects other people. And how upset would you be if smoking was banned altogether?? The effects of smoking clearly kill more people than bike accidents. People like to do things that are not in their best interest, and don't want to have to worry about being arrested when they do so.
