More cyclists on the road makes it safer for cyclists. Combined with risk compensation, this seems enough to make helmet laws a net negative. Well studied. Wear a helmet though, they work!

A better alternative law would be to provide free helmets. People can choose not to use them out of preference but at least they'll have one to make that choice with.

Nothing is free, you're just making other people pay for helmets that likely wouldn't be used.

free just means tax paid

its a nice idea, but i think adults should pay for their own helmets

however, children... sure. give them one.
