I question if there are more, or if the utility riders just feel a need to speak up to the sport riders.

Examples would be me, I just happened to wander on to this thread due to the "old" survey link. I seldom wear a helmet; but I am not passionate about it. Like my father did, and I recall his father doing; I just get on my bicycle and ride to work and the market, and other daily destinations. It is a means of transportation, not a sport.

In the past I rode for sport and when I did I wore a helmet. I even have one sitting on a shelf. I use it for club riding; but there is no bike club where I am now. One advantage of riding in a rural town is that I don't constantly get lectured about helmets by the kids (late 20s' to mid 30s' seem most prone to preaching) who grew up wearing them.

I think I got entirely out of the practice of wearing a helmet in China. I was thinking about wearing one this winter for the warmth; but it didn't fit over my baklava (I think I just spelled the version that is a pastry). I was also concerned about the potential of getting injured by slipping on ice. However, I decided to get studded tires instead of a helmet. I realize one can use both; but, as I said, it simply never got cold enough for a helmet.

I do agree that Mandatory Helmet Laws would help achieve the goal of, those I speak to, who call for things like auto style licensing and operators license for bike riders. The goal being to reduce bike usage.
