I have to admit, until recently I only wore my helmet when mountain biking or commuting (on a highway), but around town I never wore it. The past year or two I have had people ask me if I wear a helmet when I bike and I would usually answer yes (with guilt).
My mom is a speech therapist and deals with some head injury children, so she has always preached the benefits of helmets.
Now that I am older and more mature (28), I have decided to wear my helmet full-time (except when not on my bike). Maybe I am just paying closer attention, but it seems like more people are wearing helmets than did a few years ago.
