    The law should be repealed.

    Why? Simple, bicycle helmet legislation is a health, safety and financial disaster wherever it has been tried. You need a helmet on your bike as much (or maybe even less) than you need one when seatbelted and airbag protected in your car. Given wearing one in your car isn't compulsory you can add discriminatory as well as a health & safety disaster.

    Who would keep such a law except the politicians which passed it?
