So you're guessing while at the same time dismissing the information that you think is based on a guess.

There's a lot of information on death and injuries that is not guess work and the overwhelming evidence is cyclists live longer and healthier lives than the general population. Serious injury and death is a relatively rare occurrence to cyclists but that's not what helmet promoters want everyone to know because in order to sell the idea to wear a helmet, they first have to convince people that cycling is dangerous.

It's encouraging when helmet laws are defeated or repealed because it shows there are those who recognize that to cycle is to benefit in excess of the inherent risks. Helmet laws are/were passed on the premise that cycling without a helmet is not beneficial because of the risks of cycling, something that is being reconsidered by more sober minds that have learned from experience.
