Introduction

The Bicycle Safety Teams Programs employ a multifaceted approach to increase bicycle helmet use and safe bicycling. The first generation of this program was field tested in three middle schools in Florida. The program produced large increases in helmet use, and correct helmet use in all three schools and the effects were maintained when students were discreetly monitored some distance from the school. The program was designed to require minimal adult supervision and had many components that promoted a sense of ownership by students riding their bicycles to school. The next generation of the program currently being evaluated by NHTSA is designed to build on the strengths of the original program.
