Why Should we wear Helmets?


The correct way to wear a HelmetFalling off a bicycle can cause serious and sometimes fatal head injuries. Wearing a helmet helps to protect one of your vital organs - the brain! Make sure you and your child wear helmets every time you are cycling, even if your child may think this is uncool. Research shows that half of the injuries received by cyclists are to the face and head.
There is a wide range of styles and sizes of helmets available.
Handy Tips to help select the best helmet:
  • make sure the helmet is the correct fit - not too big or too small.
  • you should be able to see and hear clearly whenwearing a helmet.
  • the straps should not be twisted and should fit around your ears, not over them.
  • the helmet should feel comfortable and fit snugly all around your head and under your chin.
Never Ever Ride Your Bicycle Without Wearing A Helmet!
