Whatever you do don't make your kids wear helmets if they don't want to when they start cycling alone - the amount of kids you see riding home from school with the helmet mum or dad made them wear dangling from the bars is shocking - and an accident waiting to happen.
------------------------
cyclists are all-out body fascists who sneer at mere mortals who can't manage 50 miles up a mountain with their bodies bent over some overpriced handlebars.
The simplest way is to "lead by example" starting wearing the helmet yourself.
The kids will see that is a natural thing to do and will want to follow. If they refuse to wear it, simply state that they cannot go for a ride as it is not safe to do so without wearing the helmet.
They might whine a bit but in the end will follow you happily.
