East Windsor Township Mayor Janice Mironov and East Windsor Police officers kicked off “Use Your Head”, a Bicycle Hemet Giveaway program, for Bicycle Safety Month (May). “Use Your Head” is the first phase of a multi-month bicycle safety initiative.

East Windsor is sponsoring the Bicycle Helmet Giveaway geared to East Windsor residents ages 5 through 16. East Windsor previously held sessions on May 8 and 15. There is one remaining session on Tuesday, May 22 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the East Windsor municipal building at 16 Lanning Boulevard. After viewing a brief 5 minute video on the importance of bicycle helmets and bicycle safety, participants are measured and given a properly fitted bicycle helmet, along with safety literature.

Mayor Mironov stated, “I believe it is a worthy goal of our Township to sponsor ‘Use Your Head,’ a program which focuses on improving the safe use of bicycle helmets within the Township by undertaking a pro-active education and outreach campaign.” Mayor Mironov added, “It is not only the law for young bikers, but it is good common sense for all people riding bicycles to protect themselves by wearing a helmet."
