A full house of young cyclists learned about helmet fitting, correct signalling and much more. Steady rain forced participants inside the rink for the practical session where they practiced their skills on a specially designed course. Jodi Murray of the Waterloo Wellington Brain Injury Association instructs the young cyclists about the importance of wearing a helmet correctly.
