Actually a negative interaction with a car while you are on a bicycle is likely to produce impacts that no helmet can save you from. If all you care about is your precious brain, I suppose a helmet is better than nothing but being a C5 quadriplegic has little attraction for me. 50% of serious bike accidents DO NOT involve a car! Cyclists are capable of getting into plenty of trouble on their own. Motorcyclists as well.
