So wear a helmet, there is no law whatsoever prohibiting you to wear one.
Me, I am a datum point for the argument that helmets stop you from cycling. I used to ride a bike everywhere before the compulsory helmet laws were introduced. After, cycling became so much less convenient, you had to make sure that you brought your helmet, that you kept it secure, and I plain do not like the way bicycle helmets feel on your head.
I hate the compulsory helmet laws, and I want them gone.

And just be aware that you might subconsciously drive less safely while you are wearing a helmet, and automobile drivers might subconsciously pass closer to you while you're wearing a helmet.

This is the heart of the bike helmet debate, not the "evidence". I put that word in quotes because epidemiology is being abused by people who just don't like wearing helmets.
