[TheThinkTank] Re: Group ride helmets... yeah yeah... Any summary available?

Hi Jeff,

At events where our co-op Shop is involved, we require kids to wear helmets. The thinking being that many of them are still getting in their bicycle groove, and are just more vulnerable. We take new, donated helmets in small, medium and large to rides in case a kid, or adult needs one . We encourage adults to wear helmets, and model that behavior. On our last ride, there was an older English guy riding his Raleigh three-speed that had to be at least sixty years old. We wore a tweed cap.

For the elementary school bicycle rodeos we put tape on helmets with the kids' names.

Thanks and good health, Weogo
