But what he is saying, is that it's actually less dangerous cycling than walking on sidewalks... And why don't you wear a helmet when you walk on sidewalks since statistics say there's more of a chance of needing one walking on sidewalks than riding a bike but nobody is expected to wear a helmet walking?


I wear a helmet when I ride and don't when I walk, because I perceive my bike riding to be a more dangerous activity than me walking, that would be my short answer, I'm willing to take the risk of walking without a helmet, not because nothing will ever happen to me or other BS reasons, I am just willing to take that risk...... And that is what non helmet wearers should be saying, not that nothing will ever happen or any other BS reason but that they are willing to take the risk...
