Jeanette Sadik-Khan, who set up NYC's highly successful bike share scheme and made NYC's roads a lot safer for bikes, blames mandatory helmet laws for the failure of Melbourne's bike share.
The result is less bikes -> more cars -> more cars hitting bikes -> more cars killing/injuring bike riders.

It's sad to see an otherwise progressive person like Greg Jericho arguing for laws which are enforced overwhelmingly against disadvantaged people and non-whites, often young indigenous kids or recent immigrants who are completely unaware of Australia's uniquely harsh mandatory helmet laws.

And when in the home, where most head injuries occur of all through falls?
