Saturday, June 1st, is the 2019 Bicycle and Helmet Safety Day. This annual event is hosted by the Bedford Police Department in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Bedford.
From 10:00 am - 12:00 noon, at the Mudge Way parking lot opposite the Police Department, Bedford Rotary volunteers give out free, custom fitted helmets for child cyclists while BPD officers instruct riders in bike safety. The free helmets, made possible through sponsorship by the Bedford Rotary Foundation and Bedford Farms, are all U.S. safety certified for Bike CPSC.
Members of the Bedford Friends of the Minuteman Bikeway will join Rotarians in the helmet fitting, possibly outfitting a youngster who will be riding in this year's PMC Kids Ride.
The Bedford PMC Kids Ride will be pedaling off from the John Glenn Middle School from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 15th.
