+This service is only available to schools with a sizeable Free and Reduced Lunch population.

++ Professional helmet fitting – where children bring in their helmet and a trained volunteer will make sure it fits correctly - is offered free through volunteers from Healthy Harford and members of Chesapeake Spokes cycling club. With 6 week advanced planning, we can arrange for low cost bike helmets to be purchased through Healthy Harford. Through this program, new helmets can be purchased at a significant discount of $10 per helmet (retail value $22). A minimum number of helmets is required. Please contact us at 410-877-2306 for details.
