Do you own a bicycle helmet?

East Lyme Public Safety
Wants to Remind you to:

  • Wear a bicycle helmet every time you get on a bike. Helmets can reduce your risk of head injury by up to 85% in a bicycle crash.
  • Supervise younger children and assure that they ride with supervision in safe areas away from traffic.
  • Teach and have older children practice the “rules of the road“ for safe biking.
  • Make sure bicycles are in good repair and the right size for the children riding them.
  • Wearing clothing with reflective materials can help make bicyclists more visible.

Stay safe and enjoy your summer!
