Test Your Smarts: Bicycle safety

The correct answers is: A.

Properly fitted bike helmets could reduce the risk of bike-related brain injuries by 88 percent; however, only 15 to 25 percent of cyclists ages 14 and under usually wear a helmet, according to Safe Kids USA.

Learn more about bicycle safety at the annual 43rd Ward Summer Safety Festival at Lincoln Park High School in Chicago on June 27, held in partnership with Children’s Memorial. The first 150 kids to arrive on wheels will receive free bicycle helmets, fitted by Mayor Daley’s Bicycle Ambassadors.
