    I too wear my helmet to work and everywhere else I cycle. I also keep it on whilst shopping, so shop owners, particularly those whose businesses are adjacent to designated bicycle lanes, can see that cyclists form a considerable part of their customer base. All the same, I consider the mandatory helmet laws counter-productive as they actually discourage cycling. Some would say that helmet laws actually contribute to the obesity epidemic by discouraging cycle use.
