We all, through public assistance, pay for this. It's not a simple "right to ride without a helmet" argument.
I assume by rehab, you're talking about Traumatic Brain Injury rather than scalp tears? If so, then your expertise ought to have informed you that bicycle helmets make no discernable difference to TBI.


Meanwhile I hope you're wearing your shower-helmet. I don't want to pay for your so-called "right to shower without a helmet".
