Just checked the laws. It seems there are some bicycle laws but is geared towards the minor. I didn't know in Colorado Minors must wear a helmet when a passenger on a motorcycle. I learned something new today. http://www.iihs.org/laws/HelmetUseCurrent.aspx
Arizona is a surprise. With all the Torques drama you would think their laws are strict.
And a whole lot more states than I thought have no helmet laws.
In most Canadian provinces, motorcycle helmets are MANDATORY, and a very good idea! I have a motocross style one, and I will be upgrading to a full visor motorcycle soon. My poor face freezes at 0500 in the morning!
If you want a cheap helmet that is light and looks cool, check out this seller on ebay. I just got one and although it's not dot certified, cops don't bother you.

It is advertised as a "novelty helmet." The fine print says "not intended to be used as a safety equipment. This will not provide any protection to the head."

Here's the one that I got. It's a Bell, it's DOT approved, and it comes with unzippable earflaps (not shown in this photo) for when it gets colder out. I bought mine off Ebay for $45 INCLUDING shipping. I think full retail on them is like $70 or $80. It's a good helmet, and I think looks pretty cool....
