Guilty as charged. Went for a ride yesterday with my 4 year old daughter (part of which was on the road), and I wasn't wearing a helmet, whereas she was. The reason she was though is that I asked her if she wanted to wear it, and she said yes. If it makes her feel safer, and gets her in to the cycling habit, who am I to tell her that it's a waste of time?
Don't automatically assume that parents have compelled their children to wear helmets. I'm pro choice. My daughter has made the choice that she would like to wear one. Given that she's still quite wobbly on her bike, it probably makes sense too. I've made the choice that if I'm cycling at 5mph with my daughter, there's no point in my wearing one.

Helmets on handle bars is so senseless. Also parents that arent wearing helmets making their kids wear helmets. Set an example. Sorry off topic rant. :)
