HelmetHero Bicycle Education
The Helmet Hero Bicycle Safety Program integrates safety messages and educational opportunities for bicyclists through the development of programs and educational materials including maps and brochures. ARDC staff educates 3rd grade students on safe bicycle techniques and the importance of wearing helmets. This program is held at elementary schools thoughout Northeast Minnesota. The overall goal is to reduce dangerous bicycling behavior by teaching youth to ride safely and effectively. With the near completion of several regional trails and with the popularity of bicycling among elementary students, it is extremely important to educate children about the importance of safe bicycling and wearing a helmet. Helmets are distributed to these children at no charge and rewards are given to children seen using their helmets. If you are interested in having this free program visit your school please contact Bryan Anderson.

This program was funded by the Northeast Minnesota Area Transportation Partnership.
