Yes. Helmets are important for riders. Not only professional riders but also those amateur ones. It's better to look awkward than to suffer from injuries. No. Wearing a helmet doesn't necessarily make you a safer rider. I believe the only things which should be required are things which make you safer to others on the road. For this reason I don't believe seat belts should be required either, but yet they are.
I ride motorcycles and I drive a car. In both cases I am wearing either a helmet or a seat belt. Not because it makes me safer, but because I choose to. Seat belts are proven to save lives and reduce injury in an accident. While they can't exactly show the same statistics for helmets, I wear one because I can't see or breath with the wind in my face at 70 mph, so it just makes sense. I don't wear it to make a fashion statement or because I think it will safe my life. I wear it because I find them to be practical ways to shield your eyes and face from the rocks, bugs, and dirt which cause serious problems when riding.
