Of course, mandatory helmet laws do NOT make cyclists less safe. They may make people who choose not to cycle because of the law less safe. But there is no discussion of the balance of safety -- more for helmet wearers, perhaps less for people who choose not to cycle.

- aeharding 4y agoIt's a lot more productive to support a free helmet program in your city, if you really want more people to wear helmets.
