To be effective as head protection, it should be worn no more than 1 finger-width above your eyebrows (wearing a helmet ****** to the back negates most of its protection). Forehead coverage is more important as most bicycle crashes are "faceplants" but back of the head protection is a bonus that more expensive helmets provide.
Helmet makers specify a range of sizes for their helmets that is based on head circumference. Once you determine the proper size, check the fit and comfort. Fit should be snug. Sizing pads are usually provided. Most importantly, try to wear the helmet to see if your head shape is compatible with their helmet shape so you avoid getting one with pressure hotspots.

it should fit very snug on your noggin. measure the circumfrence of your head with a measuring tape and use that number to find the proper size helmet. most brands have sizes that fit a certain range of head sizes. avoid the ones that advertise "one size fits all"

i do no longer comprehend why Bloomberg acted this way. you are able to desire to invite him. Are you regularly objecting to the lack of ability of a motorbike helmet ordinance, however? Or are you attempting to shield -- on bogus "civil liberties" grounds -- quite disgusting sugar-encumbered beverages that the quickly nutrition industry likes to hawk to people who do no longer comprehend extra powerful? whether those stupid beverages reason people who drink them to go through a miles better possibility of diabetes & coronary heart assaults?

depends on the style. you need to have it very snug on your head though. thats why they provide those extra little things to stick inside them. and you need to buckle it! otherwise whats the point in having one on? I see so many people rollerblading and bike riding with the straps hanging down the sides of their head.

it depends on what kind of helmet it is and what brand it is. it should say on the back or inside of the box.
