I'll speak for myself and take an approach of common sense.

For all the time while riding a bicycle, I've worn a helmet for my own personal safety and always will. I simply will not ride my bicycle without one. I've been through numerous incidents where I might have been killed or seriously injured if I hadn't been wearing it. While the helmet could and had to be replaced after each incident, I knew full well that this is not so for the human brain.

I strongly recommend that people wear a helmet while on a bicycle or motorcycle. I believe that people should be educated about the benefits of wearing a helmet first and let them make them make the choice in the end. I've lived and worked around people who didn't and who now have permanent head injuries.
