Given design and construction of bicycle helmets currently on the market and their limited risk reduction capability, if an individual feels/argues that certain cycling activities/scenarios, or cycling in general, is too hazardous to ride without a bicycle helmet, it is also too hazardous to ride with a helmet.

It may give such individuals "Courage for Your Head" as Bicycles Helmets were once callously promoted by a well known promoter of bicycle helmets.
