The only evidence needed is common sense - I would add I don't often wear a helmet, but I know I probably should.
The bigger problem is that if you are in a serious accident a helmet isn't going to do much as you are so exposed as a cyclist anyway, and if you are hit by a lorry nothing is going to help. I also think a lot of road bike helmets are deigned to meet the minimum standard, and that a bmx/skate style helmet is probably a better bet round town
