The Florida Department of Health in Monroe County (DOH-Monroe), in partnership with Florida’s Pedestrian & Bicycling Safety Resource Center, will host free certified bicycle helmet fitter trainings on Friday, Sept. 19 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Marathon Public Library (3490 Overseas Hwy., Marathon) and on Sept. 22 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Gato Building (1100 Simonton St., Key West). Participants will gain the skills to properly fit helmets and, upon certification, may order free helmets for community distribution. Community partners and residents who wish to volunteer are welcome to participate. Email Ivona.Coleman@flhealth.gov to sign up.
