I don't agree with Ms. Kahn on very many issues, but speaking as a person who's life has been saved by a helmet, I would like to encourage others to wear them. Imagine going head first into a curb at 10 miles an hour, or as happened to a friend of mine, having your front wheel lock between the slats in a street gutter grill and being thrown vertically head first onto the street. I wouldn't what to make helmets mandatory, but I don't think it's wise to downplay the risks of riding bicycles.
