Bike helmets are designed by the Industry to meet the specific demands of the sport. The modern bike helmets are designed to meet the high speed impact, and to be light and cool. A necessity in such an aerobic sport. Thus maximizing protection and comfort without hampering performance.

You can ride your bike with a motorcycle, full face helmet on .... it will exceed the safety requirements, but if you intend to try to ride with it beware of the weight and the lack of ventilation. The weight will make your neck sore and tired, and the heat will build up very quickly and can cause heat exhaustion.

In the BMX section of Bike shops they will probably have a full face helmet that may be more kindly for your needs. I can say that I have raced for several decades. Had many racing and street falls, broken / separated shoulder, wrist, and endo's shattering my helmet(s).... but never have I had an injury to my jaw.... in fact I have never seen an injury to the jaw.

Check out the BMX stuff but if they don;t have the ventilation, live with a good standard helmet!

Answer
What kind of bicycle depends on "Where & How" you'll be riding. Read "Bicycles: How to Choose" on this link... http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/bicycle.html Then go see a REAL bicycle shop. Avoid discount & big box store bicycles.

"Any rules we should follow when we bicycle on the road?" YES! You basically follow the SAME rules & regulations set forth for automobiles. Read "Bicycling Street Smarts" on this link... http://www.bikexprt.com/streetsmarts/usa/

Don't be a "gutter bunny" by hugging the curb. ALWAYS ride AWAY from the curb a good 5 to 6 feet. Go around parked cars leaving a good 5 feet or so out of the "door zone". Get a good, well ventilated helmet & helmet mirror. http://safezonemirror.com/ By riding away from the curb - A) You avoid road debris, broken glass, etc. And B) You get SEEN by motorists.

To find a local bicycle or cycling club, simply ask around at local bike shops. Easy! It need not be a club or group that races. There are lots of groups that travel together for fun & fitness. One such organization in St. Louis is Trailnet. http://www.trailnet.org/
