Yes.
Believe it or not, this is well known by many mandatory helmet law supporters (like the former chief epidemiologist of Dallas County), and considered a good thing, because they believe that bicycling is an inherently dangerous activity, something far too many bicycle "advocates" echo.
What's inherently dangerous is fear-driven ignorance, coupled with a desire for no accountability.

Any kid that rides a bike whose model name is "Wipeout" OUGHT to be wearing a helmet whether on or off the bike! What model name comes next, "Roadkill?"
Today, I discovered one unquestionable benefit to wearing a helmet when riding, though it works best with a helmet with small vent holes. It keeps the hail from hurting your head. Perhaps it even saved my life had that hail happened to be a lot bigger. ;-)
Ha! I hadn't noticed the bike name!
Is there any way we can get the Dallas city code changed, about bicycle helmets? I'm not a crack dealer and they don't need to check my bike bag. I'm guessing the drug dealers on bikes are now wearing helmets.
I love the newspaper articles about bike accidents. The cyclist was traveling west on blah blah road and a 90 mph car driven by a drunk hit him. He died at the scene and he wasn't wearing a helmet.

The same way the Council enacted it.

Sure is a lot of mumbo jumbo
I like the bike helmets that look more like skate helmets. A couple of brands that I like include bern and triple 8. You can see them at http://zoobom.com
