Bike SafetyBike riding is a great way to get

exercise, fresh air and share time as a family. Bicycle helmet use should

not be optional for anyone. In many states it’s the law. In fact, each year in the United States, about half a million kids are

seriously injuried in bicycle related accidents and most of those injuries

could have been avoided if a helmet was worn. Most bike

accidents involve a head injury, so for someone not wearing a helmet the injury could be very serious.

Things to keep in mind when buying a helmet: Pick a bright

color, one that is visible to drivers and other cyclists, one that’s well ventilated , make sure the helmet

has a CPSC or Snell sticker inside, and make sure your helmet fits and

can be adjusted. Also replace helmets after any hard surface

contact, it will lose its capacity to absorb shock after taking a serious

hit.
