  I wonder if The Netherlands over-polices cycling behavior and so inflates their stats with minor nits in order to collect fines. OTOH, there's not many helmets nor stolen bicycles in NL. In the US, for experienced/aware/agile cyclists who ride often and defensively, it's usually safer for them to not wear a helmet because: i) Vehicles statistically give helmet-less cyclists more space. ii) Unconscious personal safety anxiety and risk-aversion that comes along with a rational cyclist not wearing a helmet. Something they must never forget.
