Each year more than 555,000 people are injured in the United States while bike riding.
Serious injuries are most often to the head and brain.
The use of helmets while riding can dramatically reduce the risk of head injuries. That's why the Phoenix Children's Hospital Injury Prevention Center partnered with the SAFE KIDS of Maricopa County to develop the Helmet Your Brain-Avoid the Pain program. The FREE program is an educational curriculum that encourages bicycle helmet use. It contains easy to follow content and interactive teaching materials for use by teachers, youth leaders, health professionals and parents. 1111 E. McDowell Rd.
