bicycle helmets men image

Like i get why people wear them on high speed bike races, or on big 15 mile rides.
And I do care about safety and stuff,
but why do helmets just look so darn uncool when riding around the neighborhood?
Answer
You know what like gets to me? Like when someone starts a sentence with "like". Like hey man...if you think 15 miles is a "big ride" - like you've got a lot to learn about cycling & the distances a good cyclist can cover.
Like in my neighborhood - it looks dorky for anyone not to be wearing one. Like a full forty-five percent of all cycling accidents are "solo falls" - no one else involved. Like, only 18% involve a motor vehicle, 17% involve another bicycle. Even 4% involve running into a parked car!
Like...get it now man?

In Georgia, is it illegal to ride a bicycle without a helmet?

I want to get a new bicycle to ride recreationally. I will only be riding on neighborhood roads and at parks. I will not use it as a mean of transportation or on public roads.

So unless all the streets in your neighborhood are lined with marshmallows - wear a helmet. Most people who don't like helmets do so because they're too hot. Easily cured. Don't buy a cheapo one from Wally World! Get a good one with lots of ventilation either at a local bike shop or Amazon.com.
