It's bike season!
Did you know that E-Bikes and E-Scooters are ONLY legal in New York State for operators age 16 and over?
Did you know that E-Bike operators that are 16 and 17 are also required to wear a bike helmet?
All kids under 14 are required to wear a bike helmet while riding a bike and it is recommended that EVERYONE, regardless of age wear a bike helmet.
Bike Helmets reduce the risks of a serious head injury, reducing dementia risk, while cycling promotes Brain Health!
Public Health has a Bike Helmet Program to help people get a bike helmet.
