Wearing a safety helmet while riding a bike, scooter, roller skates or skateboard is the law, for anyone under the age of 18! Helmets were designed to help protect against serious injury, and unfortunately even minor spills can mean serious head and brain injury.
Children just learning to bicycle may have frequent falls. A helmet provides protection for the child and some peace of mind for you during the learning stage. Older children may have more control over their bikes, but they often lack knowledge about the dangers and rules of the road.
