Use Your Head and Wear A Helmet

Why do you need a helmet?

IT'S THE LAW! It is now illegal for anyone under 16 years old to ride bikes on the street without wearing a helmet. . **//The state of NH law requires a helmet for all children under age 16. (RSA 265:144X)//**

It is very important for every child to be safe while riding their bike, their scooter, skate boarding, rollerblading, etc. One of the easiest ways to help protect your child from serious injury is to have them always wear a helmet while doing the above activities. If you need assistance in obtaining a helmet for your child, please see the information below.
