    Cleveland Metroparks Rangers are partnering with AAA East Central
    on a summer bike helmet awareness campaign. 

     

    The Helmet Smart campaign rewards children who wear their helmets
    while bike riding in the Park District with a safety
    "citation." 

     

    The citation packet includes a Parent-Child contract and
    information on safety helmet sizing and uses.  A coupon for
    zoo admission is included, as well as a drawing for a bike giveaway
    from AAA. 

     

    Rangers will issue the citations to children riding their bike and
    wearing their helmet in any of the Park District's reservations.
    The campaign runs through August 14.

     

    The campaign also encourages parents to take an active role in
    their children's safety by always encouraging them to wear bike
    helmets when riding, and to wear helmets themselves, too.

     

    Gregory M. Loftus, ranger chief, explains, "Cleveland
    Metroparks Rangers welcome this opportunity to educate and inform
    youth and parents about good bike riding habits. When helmets are
    worn by a cyclist it has shown to reduce the risk of a life-long
    brain or head injury by 85%."  

     

    Enjoy the summer weather, the wonderful trails and sights while
    peddling your way safely through Cleveland Metroparks - part of
    your life, naturally!
