Accidents happen independently of how safely you ride and the best thing you can do to protect yourself from an unexpected accident is to wear a helmet.
Helmet Hair Don’t Care aims to:
- Increase access to safe and comfortable helmets
- Improve students' knowledge of how to safely ride regular and electric bikes, skateboards and scooters on campus and in the community
- Create a positive culture around helmets at UC Davis
Students, staff, and faculty can receive a FREE helmet by completing a short educational training and signing the HHDC pledge. By completing the training and signing the pledge, you’re joining a community of individuals dedicated to improving transportation safety at UC Davis.
Steps to get a free helmet:
- Complete the short HHDC Educational training and sign the pledge.
- Check your email for a confirmation message.
- Visit the Bike Barn or Health Education and Promotion (be ready to show the confirmation email) to get your free helmet.
