XYZ
i bought a bike yesterday and i wonder if i should wear helmet or not. i am 19 yrs old alrdy.
Answer
1) Want to live to be 20 years old & beyond? Wear a helmet. #2) You didn't state what part of N.Y. In the city - the state - where? #3) All you need to do is Google "bicycle helmet laws" and New York to get the possible answer. #4) Ask LOCALLY! Where I live (St. Louis) some municipalities (smaller cities surrounding St. Louis) state that only kids 12 & under must wear a helmet. Some state anyone 16 and under. One city (Florissant, MO.) states EVERYONE must wear a helmet - regardless of age.

are carbon fiber helmets safe for everyday use?

compared to a regular helmet? and what is the safest helmet for road biking?
Answer
Only Wal-Mart has $30 helmets now and... vented? Really John? Shopped helmets lately? I think you are talking about the $70 price point now days.
I agree all helmets must pass the same testing -- they are all the safest. Don't use one that has a manufacture date of more than 5 years old.
A carbon fiber helmet therefore is safe as any helmet for everyday use. Just a lot more expensive. If you are looking in that $200 price point (where carbon fiber helmets hang out) you might consider a Catlike. A little different looking with the round vent holes but once you try one you really want it. Very cool in the heat.
I have a Giro Monza I found on sale at Performance for $79.00. Huge difference in cooling over the past 3 more economical helmets I have owned. In the hot humid weather it cured the sweat drips that used to get on my glasses -- yes that much cooler.
Helmets don't protect from concussions, rather only from skull fractures. READ: http://www.bicycling.com/senseless/ Not peculiar to bicycle helmets as even football helmets as heavy and padded as they are can't protect from concussions. So if you do hit your head while riding --even with a helmet-- go to a doctor and be checked for concussion symptoms.
