The safety in numbers should not be resigned as a small effect. When drivers see zero cyclists, they stop looking for them. There is a very notable difference

The safety in numbers should not be resigned as a small effect. When drivers see zero cyclists, they stop looking for them.
There is a very notable difference in streets that get high non motorized usage vs a lot. Compare a playground or park with a lot of pedestrians compared to say a national forest.
What's more, a helmet only helps if you hit your head. A small fraction (afaik, less than 10%) of falls will have a helmet helping you at all (but when it would, you tend to really want the helmet)
