As summer brings more time outdoors and more bike rides, helmet safety matters. A simple precaution can make a meaningful difference.
Helmet use has increased, yet many adults still ride without one, even though the benefits are clear. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that about one-third of non-fatal bicycle injuries treated in emergency rooms involve head injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) notes that head trauma remains a leading factor in serious cycling accidents.
Research shows helmets reduce the risk of head injury by about 60%.
As you enjoy summer rides, a properly fitted, CPSC-certified helmet is a simple step that helps protect what matters most.
