Bicycle Safety
The Rainbow Injury Prevention Center maintains an active bicycle safety program that provides fun, child-oriented presentations to schools and community groups throughout the county and includes a bulk bike helmet purchase program that allows schools and community groups to save significantly on the cost of helmets. During 2006, nearly 2,000 discounted bike helmets were purchased through the community bulk bike helmet sale and nearly 8,000 adults and children were educated on bike safety through bike skills courses, school assemblies, and other events held in 20 communities. Rainbow’s Ready to Roll kit also allows schools, police, or other community agencies to borrow the supplies and instructions needed to conduct their own bike safety rodeos.
