I am pretty much the same: Denmark, parts of Holland, Firenze and some parks are OK for helmet free if I am riding at a slow pace on a lady bike or cargo bike: never if I am fanging around on a mountain bike or road bike. Because as shown again: I am quite capable of damaging myself without cars.
I find cargo bikes are lot more stable than road bikes, but I do tend to wear a helmet whenever I am taking out any of the younger kids I associate with even if we are riding lady bikes around the park, just to reinforce with them that it's a normal thing. However, that's in an Australian context where helmets are compulsory. I think that in Denmark, there's a lot more room for contextual education in that sort of thing: Danish drivers are saner!
IIRC you were one of the people who said the iPad was awesome when I was thinking about it first the other month. SO true. The language materials alone are worth the purchase, and I am getting a lot of writing done, too.
