| Helmet Wear - A way to save your life! |
| |
| Everybody rides bikes, it is almost a rite of passage to get that first bike and learn to balance on two wheels. Who can forget pedaling for the first time without training wheels with Mom or Dad running behind to help. Bikes are part of our lives but they also present many dangers, number one being head injury. It doesn't take much of a collision to cause head injury or even worse. This is why Wheels of Freestyle promotes the use of helmet-wear. Too many kids thnk it is "cool" to ride without a helmet and every year thousands pay the price with their lives. |
| |
| We can create laws and parents can enforce rules but every child must make a choice when nobody is watching to wear a helmet or not. It is essential that kids begin to associate helmet-wear as a "cool" thing to do and the best way is to see people they look up to wearing helmets. Wheels of Freestyle, as part of the "GO BIG" School Assembly uses professional BMX bike riders to share the importance of wearing a helmet. They learn through watching and listening as our helmet wear is displayed as a big part of our equipment and message. |
| |
| The athletes also teach the kids the 5 most important pieces of equipment on a bike that need to work in order to be safe. This Bicycle-Safety and Helmet-Wear Message is delivered at each and every show! |
