It makes me absolutely nuts, though, when I see a parent wearing a helmet ferrying a kid *without* a helmet.
I notice a lot of parents here out with their kids (either the kids are on their own bikes or sitting on a seat on Mum/Dad's bike). The kids have helmets on...but the parents don't
Not setting a good example for the kids are they?
There are a lot of unwanted, unloved bikes out there - go on give a bike a good home
