Kids Bicycle Safety

According to the US Department of Transportation nearly 1000 bicycle riders are killed each year and 75% of those deaths are due to head injuries. The best protection is to wear hardshell helmets and those that are certified by Consumer Products Safety. The real key though, is to be sure that the helmet fits correctly. Giro helmets have a proprietary fit system called the ACU LOC which grows with your child and takes the guess work out of sizing since it allows you to customize the fit. Prices start around $30. www.giro.com
