The society with the most cyclists disagrees with you. I'm confident their bike safety record is better than countries with mandatory helmet laws.

Your argument that you're safer with a helmet might be true but you're probably being hypocritical in that there are plenty of things you do in life where you'd be safer with a helmet were you don't personally wear a helmet. Apparently you'd be ok if the government forced you to where a helmet at all times except sleeping because by the same argument, it's safer to walk with a helmet than without therefore there should be a law requiring it
