Cycling helmets should not be mandated. If someone is dumb enough to cycle without one, that's on them.
I believe significantly more people would cycle if helmets were not required by law.

Ooh, I'll beat your unpopularity here.
Cycling on the sidewalk in suburban areas is often safer than cycling on the road, and should not be discouraged.

I think this depends on where you live. If you live in the US, maybe. Private healthcare means the effects on the public are limited to traumatizing people, the services to dispose of your body, and EMS.
In area with socialized healthcare, ain't no way my taxpayer dollars are going towards fixing your head if you crash.

I think that's exactly what happens if you live in an area with socialized healthcare. What are you trying to say
-
Yeah haha I didn't write this well. What I'm trying to say is that where you have socialized healthcare people are way less likely to agree with the idea that you're free to not wear a helmet. I just worded that poorly.

How do you feel about mandated helmets for children?

In Germany helmets are not required. Some wear them but still very many don't.
