I totally agree with you both on the larger issue, but I'm just stressing the fact that given that we live in a world with terrible bicycling infrastructure where we do face a real risk of harm due to the low rates of cycling, helmets are actually beneficial. I worry there's an element that reads this article (ie 'anything other than a distraction') as saying that you shouldn't or needn't wear helmets, when in fact under current circumstances it's an argument for wearing them. It's a false dilemma. We should both promote helmets and promote infrastructure, and once the infrastructure is in place, ditch the helmets.
