It's cool to let those who ride decide. It's uncool to have government decide what's best for us.

If you live in a state with a mandatory helmet law it doesn't really matter if you think it's cool or uncool., you're forced to wear one. If you live in a state that treats adults as adults and lets each rider decide for themselves to wear or not to wear a helmet, then it's the rider's decision. Each rider can decide for themself the reason for wearing or for not wearing a helmet. I ride without a helmet, but my decision is not based on whether it is cool or uncool. If that's your criteria for making a decision that's fine. The last time I looked this was still a free country.

Personally, I think it would be very UNCOOL to suffer brain damage because I wasn't wearing a helmet. It isn't about cool or uncool, it's about safety.

If you live in a state that forces you to ... then I guess it looks cool. If you live in a "free" state then I think it's a matter of what you choose ( the way it should be ) so if you are fortunate enough to live in a "free" state you would probably feel it's cool going lidless.
And from what I just read ... Illinois and Iowa are two of the last true "free" states left. It seems Colorado recently voted to force people 18 and under to wear a helmet. The safety Nazi's are relentless in their quest to take your freedom of choice away .. give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

Its cool. Riding without a helmet looks about as cool as some dipsh!t talking on a cell phone while driving.

If you live in a state where you aren't required to wear a helmet, it is all about personal preference. I ride and I don't wear one, and I have been riding for 22 years.

is it cool or uncool to be brain dead because you smashed your head into the pavement at 40 mph cuz a little old blue haired granny just turned in front of your bike and you were being cool and not wearing a helmet?

uncool is no helmet and flip flops, cool is looking like you have been around..you know, seen accidents and stuff. ...so you wear a helmet.

It may look cool to not wear one but it still shows you think the InvisibleSkyPixie is watching over your safety OR you just don't give a damn.
IF you're trying to project 'rebel' don't wear one; if you're trying to project 'smart' do wear one.
Is it really cool to wonder if you're cool?
Are you really secure if you 'have to’ project cool?
Isn’t that why I started (I stopped at 60) smoking 45 years ago – to look cool?
These days in Oz I don't think you can legally ride a bike without one.
