I think they are a great idea. When the laws first came in I objected mostly because it was cooler (temp wise) not to wear one and I was living in Darwin at the time. I was forced to wear one when racing velodrome and when a mate came off, broke his collar bone but his helmet saved his head big time, it convinced me they actually work so have been wearing one all the time since then. It does not take much to cause concussion and a minor knock from hitting the road can be a source of damage affecting you later in life too.
