I agree with wearing helmets & punishing cyclists who do not, like motorcyclists & such drivers & like having to wear a seatbelt, but that is going to far. This almost seems like a made-up article, almost like The Union.

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.
