My very unscientific real world experience with social rides in a college town bike club have shown me that insisting that riders wear helmets severely cuts down on the number of new people coming to ride with us. I have also found that those who come without helmets and come back again usually wear helmets on the second or third ride, probably because of the subtle (or not so subtle) peer pressure from the group.
