> If you have already decided to bike, the article's information means that passing a mandatory helmet law is expected to make you less safe

You can change your decision of whether to bike or not based on information about the effects of mandatory helmet laws. Some people might choose not to bike any more based on that information.

But if, taking the effects of those laws into account, you still decide to bike, the article says nothing to contradict the obvious common sense that you'll still be better off wearing a helmet than not.
