Not that cycling is that dangerous, but I'd like to see the data showing that "walking on the street" is more dangerous than riding a bike.
Or that walking on the street presents a danger that is specifically addressed by the wearing of a helmet.
On a personal level, I've lost several friends/acquaintances over the past year, killed by motor vehicles while riding their bikes. I can't think of a single incident among my friends, fatal or otherwise, that happened while they were "walking on the street."
There are plenty of pedestrians run down by motor vehicles, many of whom are killed each year. However, it's unlikely that wearing a helmet would have saved many. It's basically a specious argument.
