I've biked for most of my life in the US, and while I agree cars are a bigger problem for cyclists than anything else, describing helmet use as "armor" against cars is ridiculous. I wear a helmet when on a bike because I've had my skull fractured falling off of a bike, with no cars in sight. A decent helmet costs what, $30?

An old rusty stations-fiets costs Eur 30, too. So then that helmet is looking a bit overpriced?

You can find a crap helmet for $0, doesn't mean getting a known good product isn't worth paying for.
