Only Three Months Left Until Oregon’s
Bicycle Helmet Law Tahes Effect
—The Time To Get Ready Is Now—
Oregon’s new bicycle helmet law for children takes effect in just three months. With
the arrival of spring and more youngsters out riding bikes, the need for children to get
helmets is more crucial than ever. Many parents may not know how to fit a child with a
helmet or where to buy one.
The bill’s co-sponsor. State Senator Ron Cease (D-Northeast/Southeast Portland),
held a news conference to provide information that will help parents and community
groups get ready now for the new law.
Participants at the news conference explained:
• what kinds of injuries can result from not wearing a helmet
• how to properly fit a helmet
• how schools and community groups can start a helmet campaign
Reporters will also receive a copy of a handbook being distributed statewide to
schools, civic groups, and neighborhood organizations to help them publicize law,
distribute helmets, and get people to wear them.

described H illiard "as an excellent ex
ample o f an individual who took responsi
bility " while acknowledging how he travels
around talking to young people.
"As you retire fro m the daily grind o f

feeling that you w on’t be retiring from all
those other humanitarian activities." Dr.
Brown cautioned.
Osker Spicer, Portland chapter N a
tional Association o f Black Journalist re
