California, riding a bicycle with no helmet?

Hey guys I'm moving near my job soon and it's a great opportunity to go green and Bike my way to work everyday.

I was wondering if I can get a ticket if I get caught riding a bicycle on the bike lane with no helmet? what about the sidewalk?

Thank you in advanced.
Btw im over 18 not sure if it makes a difference or not

Answer
Helmet law or no helmet law... You should wear a helmet. The ticket is a small price to pay. Having a cracked skull because some little dog ran under you, or a crack in the pavement sent you flying, or even worse an equipment malfunction messing you up is a not worth it. You can't come back from some damage to your skull.

In most towns biking on the side walk is illegal. At least in Georgia it is. I have never viewed a cop giving a ticket for it. Side walks are for walking and bike lanes for biking. The side of the road is for bikes too! In my state every road has share the road signage. Meaning cycles have as much of a right to be in the street as a car. Remember that a cycle will never win a battle with a car! So, break your pride and put on a helmet. This coming from the guy that hates to put his on, but knows he also wants to save his brain too.

Dog urine on bicycle helmet strap?

I decided to go on my first bike ride in a while. Left my helmet in the corner of my room and apparently my chihuahua had decided to do his business on it....

I got it off most of it by wiping it down, but it seems the it's pretty deep into the strap. Obviously I can't just wash the entire helmet in the washer, so what should I do?
btw it's a $60 helmet...

Answer
Train your dog properly. Take it outside on a regular schedule. Buy a new helmet. Urine smell is one of the hardest odors to get rid of.
