It's an interesting thing about kids. The Cycle Proficiency guys insist on a helmet, but when they hang out with their mates they never wear them (except occasionally on the handlebars). On the road when we go on a ride I make my kids wear helmets. When they hang with their mates they don't - and some of their mates do crazy things.
The adults I ride with, when I joined them, never wore helmets except one or two. The other day someone pointed out I was the only rider without a helmet. In two years everyone's perception of risk has changed, but none of the facts have. Weird huh?
I'm with Scoober on this one.
