In fact, kids ages 5 to 14 get hurt more often than bikers of any other age!Every day, about 1,000 kids end up in hospital emergency rooms with injuries from bikes - like broken bones or brain concussions.
About one kid every day dies of these injuries. Others suffer lifetime problems, like limping or brain damage.
Before you get on your bike, put on a bike helmet!
Wearing a bike helmet can reduce head injuries up to 85 percent. As one kid said, "You're much less likely to bust your head open on the sidewalk or street."
So, wear a helmet - and give your head a break.
