I thought there was an ordinance in Chapel Hill dictating children under X 
years have to wear a helmet. 

Actually, there is:

"Last year, North Carolina enacted a law that requires every person under 
16 years old to wear a bicycle helmet when bicycling on any public road, 
public bicycle path, or other public right-of-way. The law went into
