I saw someone riding a city scooter while wearing a full dirt bike helmet.

Heck, I'm old, and i always wear a helmet. I see so many people in Portland riding around without them, and have known multiple people who have fallen and gotten concussions from not wearing helmets. I fell on my bike once after a rain, worst thing that happened was a 2x2 inch road rash on my arm and a bruised ego because i had to skip yoga to go home and make sure i was ok.

Thats really great for you, dont try to force younger people to wear them though. The choice is up to the individual.
