As a bicycle safety instructor, I am tired of people labeling cyclists as "good" or "bad" solely on the basis of helmet use. Riding the wrong way against traffic is just one example of bad (and quite common) behavior, but it is WAY more dangerous than not wearing a helmet. Yet you rarely hear the helmet zealots shame someone for riding the wrong way, even though that behavior endangers both the wrong way cyclist and all the lawful cyclists who are often forced into the traffic lane to go around a "bike salmon".
Helmet zealots and anti-helmet zealots are the reason helmet discussions are banned on well-run lists.
Riding the wrong way against traffic is stupid, ignorant and dangerous, and it is the clearest possible sign that the person in question is no cyclist.
