The Bicycle Helmet Initiative Trust was set up in 1998 with
the aim of reducing the number of children who are killed
and injured every year in the UK as a result of head injuries
sustained in cycling accidents.
Government figures
show that child cyclists are more than three times more
likely to die on Britain’s roads than
adult cyclists.
According to Transport Research Laboratory data, child cyclists
make up 6.6 per cent of road cyclists, yet they account for
a disproportionate number of accident deaths.
Research has demonstrated that helmets can reduce the severity
of head injuries by up to 85 per cent.
The Bicycle Helmet
Initiative Trust is a charitable Limited company (registered
in England number 3560393)
whose registered office is at 51 Milford Road, Reading, Berkshire RG1 8LG.
Registered Charity No. 1069476
