The two data points so far are interesting--and 25% sounds much
higher than I would expect--are they really catching on?
In my experience in Livermore and Davis--I would estimate
only 10-15% for non organized rides.  As you might expect--
there seems to some correlation between commuters (more helmets)
and weekend out-for-a-ride cyclists (4 helmets out of about 50 
cyclists on a spring saturday outside Davis, Ca.).
