Fuck, we used to jump fire ditches, make 6' ramps at construction sites, and generally do shit with bikes, wood and cinder blocks that would make a Soccer Mom today pass out with ocular hemorrhages.

And no, no bicycle helmets.
about the same here :)

What's up with the Jaron Option,  Mexicans dont ride bikes? They steal them, so they should know how to ride them.

They also steal Rayban sunglasses, and that doens't mean they know how to wear them.

35 or older - no

I was run over by a car on the way to school (10th grade) and all I had was road rash.
it gets better: I had a test that day so I asked the lady that almost killed me to take my bike back home and drive me to school. Turs out she lived close and her daughter went to school close to mine, she gave me a ride to school for almost the whole school year until I fixed my bike.

I selected the last option as I can't really ride a bike but I'll say that yes many peeps were wearing helmets. Yay for the 90s.

Shocker.

Why would I want to?

Why wouldn't you? See, two can play that game.

Because bicycles are unnecessary? Here in the city they are pretty dangerous. If I want to get somewhere slowly I can walk and if I want to get somewhere quickly, I can drive my car.  Cars are also preferable for when I want run someone over.

Your parents let you drive the car around town when you were little?

Our house wasn't really near anything in town*. If I wanted to go somewhere, I cajoled my parents into driving me. :)

*I was late to work once in my teens as there were cows loose on the road and then further down the street, hay bales had fallen off a truck.

Over 35 and did not wear a helmet when riding a bike as a kid except for when a friends Mom saw us doing jumps on our BMXs and she made us wear her husbands motorcycle helmets.
