Helmet Hero Bicycle Education
| Background
|
| Since 2007, ARDC has provided an interactive bicycle and helmet safety education curriculum called the Helmet Hero Program. The overall goal is to reduce dangerous bicycling behavior by teaching youth to ride safely and effectively. This program includes 30-45 minutes of in-class instruction that integrates safety messages and educational opportunities for bicyclists. The program is designed for third grade students and is held at elementary schools throughout Northeast Minnesota. Bicycle helmets are distributed and fit to each child’s head at no charge. Rewards are given to the children seen using their helmets. Click here to see a news segment on Helmet Hero. |
