With spring here and the weather warming up, kids are back outside and riding their bikes. My 3 kids would ride everyday if they could. But are your kids equipped with the proper safety equipment? Having your kids wear a bike helmet could save their life in the event of an accident. If your children still need a helmet this year, the Cedar Rapids Police Department will be handing them out for FREE. Just get to the Praire Crest Elementary lot this Saturday April 18th from 9am to 12pm, at 401 76th Ave. SW. The child must be present to receive the free helmet. The event coincides with Safe Kids Day. You can find more ways to keep your kids safe, including how to properly fit that bike helmet, at SafeKids.org.
