I also would like to recommend that while the existing law is in place the 
cyclists who choose not to wear helmets should really check their private 
health insurance and life insurance... Make sure that there are no catches 
when it comes to any injuries while cycling without the helmet. With the 
current law it would be a situation similar to someone injured in a car while 
not wearing a seatbelt...

I agree. As an on-road cyclist I can only recommend that the attention is 
diverted from cyclists to issues that REALLY are a problem, like the state of 
roads, attitude of car drivers towards other participants in the traffic, etc.
