When I was growing up, wearing ANY helmet to ride a bike would brand you as a sissy. I’m not even sure you could get them in the 60’s and 70’s... Still won’t wear them.

We didn’t have helmets back then.

We had banana bikes and Evel Knievel jump ramps we made from rotten plywood scrounged from the junk pile, rusty nails and all.

And we liked it.

Ditto that for horseback riding.
