The Boston Public Health Commission’s Work Place Wellness and Injury Prevention Programs are sponsoring a $5 Bike Helmet sale at 1010 Mass Ave.

The typical bike helmet can cost between $30 to $130 - don’t spend an arm and a leg to protect your head!

Please stop by and take advantage of this stylish, affordable, and essen...tial bike safety resource. Staff from the Injury Prevention Program will provide assistance with helmet sizing and proper fit. If you are purchasing a helmet for family members or friends, come prepared with their head measurement .

Why wear a bicycle helmet?
It's simple. If you fall from your bike, the bicycle helmet takes the force of the blow — instead of your head. When you're biking, wearing a bicycle helmet is the most effective way to prevent a life‐ threatening head injury. Be a role model for fellow employees, family, friends and the residents of Boston by wearing a helmet

You’d be cooler in a helmet. (Check out www.bphc.org/helmet to see You’d Be Cooler in a Helmet videos)
