Default Helmet survey

This is not a helmet debate thread. This is a do you wear a helmet (required or not) thread.

I always wear a helmet. Partly because it is mandatory and the fines are just a waste of money, partly because it saved my skull once and I trust it...

Hard to get wind in the hair with a helmet on.

Unless I'm in a mandatory state, never.
