Are we required to wear bike helmets when we go biking?

Or is that just a suggestion. I was told that if we are caught biking without a bike helmet we will get a fine.
I live in Texas. And, when I bike, I usually bike on the sidewalk at a relatively slow speed.

Answer
It depends where you live and where you ride.

When I'm in my nieghborhood at slow speeds, a helmet is just as stupid of an idea as it is to not wear one when I'm mountain biking.

Freedom to use good judgement is supposed to be the American way. Unfortunately our legal system has forced us to behave and think like we're sheep.

What kind of bike helmet do I need to get?

Basically, I hate bike helmets because I hate the way they feel: itchie, hot, tight, but my dad says if I'm going to bring my bike to college, i have to wear one. I was wondering I they make helmets tht breathe better for people like me who just hate them.
No need to be an asshole @well sell

Answer
Basically they all meet basic safety standards, but more expensive ones will stand up better and because they are stronger they can have less material and more ventilation. In reality you can tell by price and by examination which will be cooler and lighter. I recently switched to a Lazer (brand) helmet and it's worth the extra $$. I suspect your experience has been with budget helmets ..

If your father insists maybe he would be willing to pay the premium for a good helmet??? :-)
