Bicycle Safety
Nationwide, 160
children under the age of 16 died from bicycle-related crashes
in 2002. Many times, children suffer head injuries that could
have been prevented or made less severe if they had been
wearing bicycle helmets. Bicycle helmet usage rates are low
in all parts of Cuyahoga County and the Rainbow Injury
Prevention Center is working hard to improve rates through
public education and advocacy.
