MN has no mandatory helmet law. I could wear an Elizabethan ruff iffen I wanted to.
The reason the bike helmet feels odd is because I am used to wearing a much heavier and longer helmet plus a leather and closed-cell foam gorget with an 8" 'tail' that covers my spine and runs down into the body armor. The barbute actually restricts my head movement a lot more than the gorget does.
