Bike Helmet Clinics coming to Blaine & Fridley.

Did you know that bike related crashes kill over 900 people annually and send over half a million people to the emergency room? Did you also know that wearing a bike helmet can reduce chances of a serious head injury by 85%? Those are some eye opening statistics that Anoka County would like the general population to realize.
 
Blaine and Fridley will be holding bike helmet clinics on these dates:
April 10 at the Blaine Police department and the Anoka County Sheriffs office.
April 24 at the Fridley Police Department and
May 8 once again at the Blaine Police department.
For addresses and times go to their website.

At the clinics you will be able to purchase new adult or children's bike helmets for only $12, or feel free to bring your own helmet in to have it inspected for proper fit and safety.

No appointment will be necessary, and you do not have to be a resident of Anoka County. Cash or checks only will be taken for new helmets. Pete & John hope that parents that need helmets for themselves or their children, will take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.
