Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan celebrated DOT’s 50,00th free helmet fitting on August 6th, during the first week of Summer Streets. Since 2007, DOT’s Safety Education program has promoted bicycle safety through the free giveaway and fitting of stylish bicycle helmets at events in all five boroughs.

Helmets are crucial to keeping bicyclists safe, and are required by law for those age 13 and younger.

Bike Smart!
