    So why do you support their use and compulsion of their use in an activity
    which has a vanishingly small risk of head injury, and where their ability
    to prevent any such head injury is essentially zero?

    Eh?

    I still don't understand why you don't use helmets in cars that lack
    airbags. The cost-benefit ratio is pretty clear. Their use involves
    little discomfort and little cost relative to the cost of a car (or to
    the cost of a head injury!).

    Or perhaps you do.

    Hope you have a nice bike mission, I mean bike ride, today and can
    complete the mission.
