Wear a Helmet

Under 16, You Must Wear a Helmet
Over 16, you should wear one

Make Sure it Fits

1. Wear it level on your head, not tipped backwards or forwards
2. The sidestraps should meet under your ears & buckle should be snug under your chin
3. If it fits correctly, it shouldn’t wobble loosely or squeeze too tightly
4. When in doubt, ask your local bike shop – if it doesn’t fit, it won’t protect you

Wear you Helmet on Every Trip
It’s your only protection when your street smarts and bike skills fail, don’t forget it

One Crash per Helmet
They’re not designed for repeated impacts, so replace your helmet after an accident
