Smolin talks about bike helmet safety
PennDOT reported the number of cyclists killed in Pennsylvania crashes doubled last year.
Sixteen bicycle riders died in 2009, twice the number killed statewide in 2008, department safety press officer Fritzi Schreffler said.
“No child or adult should ride a bicycle without a helmet,” Dr. Gregory Smolin, chair of the emergency department at Memorial Hospital in York, said. “It doesn’t take a high-speed fall to have a head injury.”
Inspecting your bicycle is critical, too, Smolin said.
An avid bicyclist, Smolin said riders need to make sure brakes are in working order and tires are inflated properly.
He also cautioned everyone to have more patience on the road.
“When you mix cars and bikes, people get frustrated and bad things happen,” he said.

through the emergency department. The department handles more than 40,000 patients a
year, up from 15,000 a decade ago.
The biggest change, instituted in October, plants a doctor in the waiting room to help sort
patients and point them where they need to go. The hospital also added new positions and
revamped its registration procedures so they don’t stand in the way of patient care. Read the full article in the Central Penn Journal
