    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 safe 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 27.



    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.



    Ranger Chief Greg Loftus explains, �Cleveland Metroparks Rangers
    welcome this opportunity to educate and inform youth and parents
    about good bike riding habits. National statistics report that 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!
