> Citation needed. If they are now traveling via automobile
First, there's no need for any citation, helmets do reduce trauma from impact sensibly
See:
"Helmets provide a 63 to 88% reduction in the risk of head, brain and severe brain injury for all ages of bicyclists"

Secondly: if they are now traveling via automobile, the risk of injuries is less than going by bike without an helmet.
If you believe that by driving cars the risk of brain trauma goes up 63 to 80%, you should provide some evidence,
You're also blindly assuming that no bike means car, in my opinion it would mirror the usage pattern of someone not keen to use a car: public transportation, walking, other means of transportation such as skateboard, scooters etc.

- peoplefromibiza 4y ago> "First, there is no need for citation" I'm no native english speaker, sometimes I make mistakes. "there's no need to" in my language can translate to "it is superfluous because" and then you explain why it is. I'll remind you HN guidelines, in case you forgot. Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
