Today, helmet laws are often seen by kids as something they have to follow — but not something they believe in. BrainSTRONG is working to flip that thinking from "have to" to "want to." "In 1979, the NHL made helmets mandatory. Players didn't like it — until they saw why it mattered," says Robert Wein, founder of BrainSTRONG. "Now, no hockey player would ever hit the ice without one. That's the culture shift we want to spark with biking. It starts by helping kids see wearing a helmet as a smart choice — not just a rule." Join us and be part of the shift. Be part of a safer, smarter biking community.
