Cyclists Urged To Wear Helmets

Written by Peter McIntyre  107.5 KISSFM Monday, 23 April 2012 13:09 RCMPIt's the time of year when more cyclists are on local roads, but some of them could face penalties for breaking the law. RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk says riders without helmets have been getting warnings from Mounties and bylaw officers so far, but a fine could also be issued. "Quite often what we see which is quite frustrating is the kids have helmets on but the parents don't, so the parents are not setting a very good example." Molendyk says the fine for not wearing a bike helmet is 30 dollars, and that's for adults or children.
