Follow these easy steps:

1. Visit a Helmet Loan Location 
Stop by one of the participating locations listed below.

2. Bring a Valid ID or Credit Card
Present your driver’s license or credit card to borrow a helmet. This is just to hold on file—there’s no charge unless the helmet is not returned.

3. Pick the Right Fit
Helmets are available in both adult and child sizes to ensure a safe and comfortable fit.

4. Ride and Enjoy
Use the helmet for the duration of your bike rental. Enjoy sightseeing, recreation, and cultural stops along the trail.

Helmets must be returned to the same location on the same day to avoid late fees.
