I’m not sure if this is the right platform for this but I was wondering if you can post a reminder to parents whose boys are off school and riding their bikes to and from shul everyday. It seems most of them do not wear helmets and I almost hit a boy riding across green road not looking if cars had the green light or not. My cousin in Monsey has been in a coma for 7 weeks because he got hit by a car while riding his bike and he had no helmet on. We have no idea if he will ever be the same and to see these boys doing the same thing is another one of these stories waiting to happen chas vishalom.

Helmets will be available for children at a discount ($8/helmet) at the Bikur Cholim Children’s Health & Safety Fair. The event is THIS SUNDAY, June 28 from 1-4 pm at Green Road Synagogue.
