I know that lot of people swear by them, but as for me they effectively prohibit my wearing a bike, I'd hate to see them compulsary. And I assume that though you like your helmet, you don't routinely cycle in elbow protectors?
Ed. That said, I think there are arguments for the use of helmets is by children, whose accidents tend to happen at lower speed and don't involve cars, and if I had a child I'd probably want her to wear one.
