Keep Your BRAIN Safe!
Protect your family by making
sure everyone is wearing a properly fitted helmet. Although
it cannot prevent cuts, bruises or even broken arms, a
helmet can offer lifesaving protection in the event of a
crash or fall.

Custom-fitted bike
and all-sport helmets are available at cost at the
Eastsound Fire Station. All-sport helmets are used for
skateboarding, roller-skating/roller-blades, horseback
riding as well as biking.
