Bicycle Helmets

Head injuries account for approximately 80% of deaths among cyclists. Although it is a preventive measure, children who ride with you should be made to wear a helmet. Encourage them by wearing your helmet every time you bike with them.

Remind them that in a fall, the head is more exposed to serious injury than any other part of the body.

It is important to properly adjust a helmet: it should not be too big or too small, the front and back straps should come together and the chin strap should not be too tight.
