To make sure your children don't get left behind, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and Safe Kids Southeast Wisconsin are offering FREE HELMETS for youth riders 12 and younger! In addition, while supplies last, helmets sized toddler to adult are available to community members for only $10. Toddlers must be at least one-year old to receive a helmet.
