Update March 3, 2003
City Requires Helmets for all Bicycle Riders
The City of Lake Forest Park and the Cascade Bike Club will be providing $8 helmets and fittings on
March 25, 2003 between 3-6 PM at Third Place Commons in the Towne Centre Shopping Center. This
effort is to help everyone comply with the new City ordinance requiring all bike riders to wear
helmets on public streets in Lake Forest Park.
“We know bike helmets save lives. We are eager to make helmets available to everyone at a moderate
cost.” said Mayor Hutchinson. Staff from Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center has found
that helmets decrease the risk of head injury by 85% and brain injury by 88%.
Helmet fittings and reduce cost helmets will be available again at Picnic in the Park July 26 in the
Town Centre.
