Those Rosebank Stackhats were awful. my parents wouldn't allow us to ride to school without a helmet even before the compulsory law came in, but they anticipated the abuse we'd cop for turning up with non-compusory stackhats and bought us decent helmets from a decent bike shop instead.
I don't ride that much these days (bought a decent road bike so must change that and get out more) but will always wear a helmet and have no real issue with it. if the law was changed and I had some nice open bike tracks close to home would I consider going for a leisurely ride without a helmet? maybe... but it wouldn't affect my decision to ride or not
