First the good news, PA no longer requires helmets (for those with > 2years exp.).
Second, regarding your decision to wear a helmet when traveling in excess of 25 mph, do some research. Helmets only provide protection (for the average rider) for up to a 17 mph impact.
Personally, I only wear helmets for weather protection (outside of state requirements). Got a nice sheepskin/wool lined one for winter, and a full-face for the rain. My neck/spine is too valuable.
