Discounted bicycle helmets

Rubenu, an organization promoting health and safety in Israel, is helping people to obtain bicycle helmets to comply with new legislation. Bicycle helmets are now required by law for anyone riding a bicycle, skateboard, rollerblades or motorized scooter

Each year, many bicycle riders, especially children, are injured while riding their bicycles. Bike helmet use has been proven to reduce head injuries by up to 85 percent.

 

Avi Maderer, director of the Rubenu Israel organization, advises parents about compliance with the new law: “The best way for parents to ensure that their children always wear a bicycle helmet while riding is by allowing the child to choose one they like, especially its colour and style. Additionally, parents, teachers and guardians should set a proper example by always wearing a helmet when they cycle.

 

"For both safety and educational reasons, experts recommend that toddlers on tricycles wear a helmet as well, although the new law does not apply to these vehicles. Parents should use the new law as a cue to stress the importance and benefits of helmet-wearing to their children.”

 

For the safety of their children and to ensure compliance with the new law, parents are can beat the rush for good quality helmets by ordering online at www.kasdot.com. Helmets are on offer here, with a range of sizes and designs for adults and children to choose from. All helmet models carry top American and European safety certification.

 

The kasdot.com discounted on-line helmets store is one of a number of safety projects run by Rubenu, a registered not-for-profit organization devoted to improving health and safety in Israel. Using science-based proven methods, Rubenu promotes safety and health in Israel with a number of community projects in issues including smoking prevention, child accident prevention and road safety.
