Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: I need more information about how to properly fit a bicycle helmet. Where can I find more information about how to find the right helmet for my child? What about somewhere local, in case I have more questions?  (Gainesville/Ocala)

A:

I am glad you are asking this because a properly fitted bicycle helmet can reduce the risk of a head injury by 85%, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association or NHTSA.

The NHTSA provides an illustrated easy to follow guide on how to fit a helmet.  Go to this site to learn more.

Locally, Safe Kids of North Central Florida is available to for bike safety questions. They even periodically sponsor events where kids can receive helmets for free. Contact Safe Kids at (352) 231-4636, or click on the link given.

As a local bicycle accident attoreny, I know that properly fitting helmets can save lives!
