The weather is getting warmer and this is the time that New Yorkers are riding bicycles as a mode of transportation. NYC Department of Transportation has begun their FREE Bike Helmet Fitting and Distribution Events. DOT will provide free Vision Zero bike helmets, fittings and distribution while supplies last. Helmets are available for all ages. You must be present to get a helmet and you must learn how to properly fit and wear it before you receive it. Adults over 18 receiving a helmet must sign a waiver, and a parent or legal guardian must be present to sign a waiver for children under age 18.
This year, the event is adding a free kids bike swap: bring your old bike and upgrade to the next kids size. Kids must be accompanied by a parent / legal guardian and fit on a 24” wheel bike or smaller.
When: Wednesday, May 15th 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Where: Carmine Carro Community Center
3000 Fillmore Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11229
