A majority of cyclists wear helmets in Toronto, but many don't. Here are some simple ways for you to encourage others to wear a bike helmet.
Start with yourself. Be a good role model. Wear your helmet every time. Make sure it is properly adjusted.
Talk to your family. If you are a parent, make wearing a helmet just a part of what you do. Start your children young so they get the helmet habit early. If you are a child, let your parents know how important wearing a helmet is.
Encourage your friends. A bike helmet is a great present idea for the cyclist who has nearly everything.
Organize a school event. When the helmet law was coming in, in 1995, many schools organized helmet sales. These kinds of events are as important now as they were then.
Contact a Safety Organization to get more information.
