I fund people without helmets really weird. I go mountain biking a lot and also some downhill, so when you go to a park, everyone wears a helmet. Where i go some of the best riders of the country train there and they always wear their helmets, not only in the park, but also on the way there. But i still hear the argument that "i don't need a helmet, i'm a very good rider."
My sisters boyfriend takes it to the max, ge's a 43 year old guy with 2 children who ties his helmet to the handlebars when they go on a bike trip, because what if someone sees him and things he looks like a fag? That would be horrible.

Tourists and bar hoppers aren’t going to carry around a helmet
