As youth take to the streets for summer fun, parents and guardians should make sure children are wearing approved helmets when riding their bicycles.
The Fort Worth Police Department reminds residents that all youth younger than 18 are required by law to wear a protective helmet when riding their bikes on public streets or park property.
Parents of youth who ride without helemts will receive a citation.
Trama statistics indicate that wearing a protective helmet can save lives and reduce injuries of bicyclists by 85 %.
