Bicycle Helmets

According to Safe Kids Worldwide, more than 350,000 kids in the United States went to the emergency room in 1997 because of the injuries they received while riding their bikes.  By wearing a helmet every time you ride your bike, you can reduce your risk of serious head injury by as much as 85 percent!  And bike helmets are cool!  They come in all shapes and colors.

To stay safe:

• Make sure your helmet fits comfortably and snugly, but not too tightly.
• It should sit on top of your head in a level position and should not rock back and forth.
• And always fasten the straps!
