Last I recall anyone bringing it up as an issue, it was the Democratic Labor Party during the 2007 election, one of their policies was to abolish what they called "victimless crimes", one of the examples being failing to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle or motorcycle.

Sadly, as much as having a block of foam strapped to my head can be a nuisance at times, where a crash is concerned, physics is not on my side. Numerous studies into the dynamics of road accidents have shown the human skull to be insufficiently thick enough to protect against collisions with hard surfaces. So to my mind, it's the lesser of two evils.
