Did you know May is National Bike Month? With weather getting a little nicer as we inch towards summer more and more folks will be out riding! Don't forget you helmet! Did you know according to a recent study "Almost three-quarters of fatal crashes (74%) involved a head injury. Nearly all bicyclists who died (97%) were not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash." If you have questions about bike helmets or need one let us know we may be able to help!
