I only wear one when some event requires it, or on group rides where I don't want someone to ruin the good fellowship by making a fuss over having my purdy head out there for all the world to marvel at, like that ride we did the night before the Lancaster metric last year.
Sometimes I wear one on winter commutes, because it helps keep my head warmer and gives me a place to mount another light.
