I started wearing a helmet when I started mountain biking in wooded/ brushy areas. It was nice to be able to put my head down and have the small branches and brush deflect off the helmet. I would put it on to ride to the trails and it just sort of became habit. Is it safer/ less safe, who knows. I like wearing it, feel like there are advantages to wearing it (outside of hitting your head), and typically recommend them to new cyclists. If someone chooses to not wear a helmet that is there decision.
I see so many motorcyclists not wearing helmets. They are traveling with traffic at much higher speed but people seem to be much easier on them them than bicyclists. It is part of motorcycle culture (or so I have been told) to not wear a helmet. Who knows.
