Children’s Museum & Healthcare Organization Promotional Event

What happened to childhood being filled with carefree exploring, without the worry that often comes with activities they are involved in. This painting reminds us of a time and place where safety is not even questioned - it's assumed as being part of the equation.

BikeNSafetyPromos knows that inside of each and every one of us overgrown adults, there is a kid with memories of hopping on our bikes, and riding the neighborhood without any cares in the world, not even worrying about crashing without a helmet on. Kids today are not even allowed to think about getting on a bike without a helmet - and for their own good!


Indianapolis Clarian Health, along with other local health groups, partnered together to host the Emergency Medicine Bike Safety Fair at The Children’s Museum.  This event was not only free to the community, but also offered “bike giveaways, free bike helmets (while supplies last), a bike safety course, an obstacle course, crash prevention demonstrations, and stations for helmet-fitting, helmet decorating and traffic signaling/safety instruction.”

How Can We Get Imprinted Bike Safety LED Lights Into Their Hands?


Children’s museums are excellent places for children to discover valuable information.  Partnering up with healthcare organizations in the area provided a hands-on learning experience for children, as a preventative measure against common cycling related injuries.

Each year in the United States, bicycle-related injuries send approximately 350,000 children under the age of 15 to emergency departments. More kids, ages 5-14 are treated in hospital emergency departments with injuries related to biking than any other sport.” (emphasis added)

One of the benefits of having this type of bike safety event is that while it mainly focuses on making the event fun for children, it’s primary aim is to educate the parents, who are ultimately responsible for passing down responsible cycling behavior to their children.

What better way to grab the attention of little cyclists and their parents, other than showing them the safety benefits of bright safety head lights, tail lights, loud horns and bells offered as a promotional gift through BikeNSafetyPromos.  Bike safety for our kids is a top priority!
