I wear one, but I'm not entirely convinced on how much protection they provide.
The one time in the last 2 years I didn't wear one, I fell off my bike and hit my head (only time I've hit my head). I hit it pretty hard, and a helmet would probably have been destroyed if I'd been wearing one, but there was no damage - the skull is pretty resilient.
I still wear one, keeps the wife happy, and it's somwhere to keep the camera. I really don't agree with compulsory helmets, it's up to the individual if they wear one. Do what you feel comfortable doing.
