Cycling

I have an old helmet (~10yrs old) and plan to get a new one but... in the meantime is it better to wear the old helmet or would it do more harm than good?

Quality, safety and price (in that order) are priorities.

The WORS (winsconsin off road series) race in my home town is coming up that I have been preparing a year and a half for. Last year I raced and got 11th place. Since then I bought a new bike (Schwinn Rockett88) and have been riding more and training harder to get better results in this years race. BUT......... the race falls on the same weekend of a festival that I have been going to for years with my friends. The festival is a blast, we camp out in the woods on 4wheeler trails and ride 4wheelers and drink beer all weekend. Which leaves me with a big decision to make.

Should I try to make it to the race on suday morning at 10am, possibly hungover and the race is about an hour from where we are camping OR skip the race alltogether and ride 4wheelers for another whole day and have lots of fun?

Does anyone have an idea what happens to them afterwards.

Perhaps someone who has stolen one could enlighten me.

It doesn't have to be amazing, but I'd rather avoid a 45 pounder.
My inseam for pants is usually about 33".
The bike shops in the city tend to specialize in ones that cost thousands. I need to find one under $500, preferably less.
I'd be perfectly happy buying used, I'm just not sure what to look for so I don't end up with something that doesn't work.
I'm a complete newb, so any advice would help. Thanks!

I know that you are supposed to ride your bike with traffic, but are you supposed to ignore that rule when there is a bona fide bike path on the other side, against traffic side, of the street? Or do you remain with traffic. Please be specific to Indiana.

Its for a mountain bike that's mostly ridden on the road. I am of course concerned about the impotence problem seats can cause. I would like to avoid that, of course.

For a year or two, he was honestly right on par with Lance when it came to climbing. Now, he's a "middle of the pack" kind of guy. What happened to his form?

OK it is commonly thought that it uses just as much energy to WALK a mile as it does to RUN a mile. But when you bring a bicycle into the equation, how does it stack up? Does riding a bicycle use as much energy as walking, or less? ...Because it feels as though it uses a LOT less.

Obviously it is easier to cycle a modern, well maintained bicycle than an old, rusty one. But how much reisitance would a poorly maintained bicycle have to give before it made more sense to get off and walk- given that you would still be PUSHING that poorly maintained bicycle?

I have been walking briskly for 3 miles a day for 3-4 days a week. I have a bicycle and would like to know if the workout would be more effective if I would bicycle the route. I am looking to lose weight.
