I'm seeing more and more "serious" riders around here sans helmet. And my reaction is mixed. My personal goal has never been to make people stop wearing helmets, so on that level, I just don't care. But I have long hoped that enough bare-headers would crop up that they/we would cease to be an oddity. That's purely selfish: I just want to make my choices and be left alone about it. So I guess I'm slightly happy...
