Depends on the local laws, some places they can get fined if they don't in others the law doesn't care. As far as I'm concerned it makes sense to wear a helmet whether it's the law or not. It might not save you if you get thrown under a truck, but it can offer some valuable protection for a less dramatic accident.
That's not Always true.
The laws regarding bicycle use can be different from one Place to Another.
While it is a bit silly, there are a couple of different reasons:
Personally, I Think helmets make perfect sense. Even the results from a minor injury - split eyebrow, scalp abrasions etc isn't much fun. Buying and wearing a helmet is a cheap price if all it ever does is keep me out of the ER once.
The laws are different from place to place, and you haven't told where you ride.
No, age doesn't matter. Anybody can fall off and get serious head injury if the head is unprotected.
Depends on where you are, the rules are different from place to place.
If you have a helmet yes
The age to ride gas scooters in California is at least 16 years. A properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet is mandatory.
It as implemented in 1999 that any person under the age of 16 must where a helmet hile bicycling in the state of Maine.
Legally it depends on if its a motorcycle or a bicycle and where you are, helmet laws aren't the same all over. In practical terms, the day to stop using a helmet is the day when you no longer think your head is worth protecting. Bottom line: you should always wear a helmet regardless of your age.
Anyone under the age of 18 must wear a helmet when riding a bicycle.
All Bicycle riders under 18 are required to wear a helmet

That depends on your age and where you're at. Helmet laws differ from place to place. Some places require all people to wear a helmet, other require people under a certain age to wear a helmet, some don't require bicyclists of any age to wear a helmet at all.
