Good you replaced the helmet. And to those who opt not to wear helmets, my last crash was on my mountain bike turned "beach cruiser" some few years ago on a July 04 slow cruise on a beach trail, when a drunk teenager barreled out of her line and smashed head on into me. I was okay, but my stiff Cannondale Pepperoni fork was trashed. The real scary thing was I don't remember hitting my head, but later while examining my helmet, there was a really big dent in the foam just over my right temple. So, please consider wearing a helmet each time you get on a bike, as like someone said, a new helmet beats getting crayons for Christmas.
