This is worth a watch regarding helmet use for a person choosing to ride a bike.

Also it's worth noting that not all people that ride a bicycle are "cyclists", just like not all people that ride a car are "race car drivers". Relevant video that talks about this exact distinction.

I am a precise person,
Helmet over no helmet is always best.
Would this be required in a car free town/city?
I never seen that in my entire life, so obviously this rarely happens. Does not happen enough to enter this discussion.
Plus, I said a reply person was sarcastically asking if a helmet rider wears his other amour (SP?) as well, as if it is wrong to do so. I am proudly answering BLANK yes, it is the most dangerous county inThe USA to bicycle ride in & I live in near outlaw area as possible, so yes, I am not only wear a helmet, but wear as much protection as I can.
Plus, without automobiles, I will still cycle (thank you, for NarritiveBear) with a helmet on, been other people’s actions that cause me to need it.
