I'm old-fashioned. I don't wear helmets when riding a bicycle. :-P

Eek! Although I have done so occasionally, I sure was glad I was wearing one when I did a high-speed faceplant in my preteens. Probably saved my life, and certainly saved my intelligence!

It looks like the polystyrene in it has degraded, which would mean it's no longer as good at absorbing impacts. Definitely get a new one.

It's remarkably well preserved for how old it is (I'm thinking thirty years old at this point. It was originally my sister's), and it's possible the majority of the degradation is just dirt, but yeah, point taken. Will do.

Heads are precious things. Protect yours as well as you can by buying a new one that's made of sterner stuff before doing much riding.

For a long time I didn't get a new one because this one was so much better than the new ones out there. But... well, technology has advanced, and maybe my helmet should, too. ;-)

Definitely. It can literally save your life.
