Not so many cars on the road circa 1958 so it was safer to ride your bike in the street, even without wearing a helmet.
My great grandad grew up on the streets of Brooklyn. They played stick ball in traffic.

I call BS to that. I was on great blocks the last few days here in Montco Texas and I pictured kids riding their bikes. The problem is kids would rather stay in and play video games or watch TV.
Uhh, Dude.
If you’re in a bicycle/car accident, it is possible a helmet may be of some value, but it’s not likely.
A helmet is mostly of value when you crash solo and bounce your skull off the pavement, and not always then. I speak as someone who crashed that way 10 years ago, broke his pelvis in five places, and didn’t put a scratch on the helmet. Still use it, in fact. LOL
