Good points on both sides of the argument.

I would like a choice regarding whether to wear a helmet. Part of
cycling to me is a sense of freedom and independence. Racing, as
well as commuting, entails risk analysis. These choices are part of
the challenge and excitement. I say to myself, "Ride Smart, Ride
Safe." Making the choices in order to be safe is one of the great
lessons one can take away from cycling. Making the choice to wear a
helmet is a great start in riding safe. Self-reliance comes with
risks, helmet or not.
