Then there's those of us who look better with fullface helmets, with a very dark tint to the faceshield!
LOL!
I'm a new rider...took the safety course, got my SM two weeks ago, already need to schedule my first service...but I wear my brain bucket.
This goes back to me being a somewhat competative cyclist for the past 18+ years. I used to try and be cool and go helmetless. For no particular reason, I started wearing one. It saved my arse...err, brain...a few times. The head hitting a curb at 20+ mph is probably not a good thing without a helmet on.
I'd opt for the positive reiforcement route...encouragement, checkin' out different helmets with your buddy, etc.
Good luck. In the cycling world, there are gazillions of anti-helmet advocats...their illogical reasoning cannot be broken.
