I get the vibe (in the US forums and also local Finnish discussions) that those who mainly use the bicycle as a hobby (racing, etc) advocate helmets louder than those who use bicycles as a part of life accessory. Many who are car free or just use a bicycle a lot for everyday activites seem to be more "meh..." about helmets.
I'm practically car free and my helmet use is pretty much divided such that
training - helmet on
everything else - helmet off
You can easily find out by doing a poll here on this forum. In America you're going to find out that the vast majority do it as hobby.
What I can't figure out is why you wear a helmet only while training, what's the difference in a crash suffered while training or not?
