This Pilot Project Supported By:
Ride & Stride is a Gainesville (FL.)/Alachua County community initiative of the City of Gainesville Bicycle/Pedestrian Program.
GNV Helmet Strong is a bicycle helmet encouragement initiative that stems from a desire of bicycle safety community volunteer and education professional, Jonathan Coron.
This effort is being completed as a pilot project of the City of Gainesville Bicycle/Pedestrian Program, created in conjunction with Jonathan Coron's vision for a personalized bicycle helmet encouragement banner outreach to schools and other highly visible activity centers in the community .
​
GNV Helmet Strong serves as the City of Gainesville's Bicycle/Pedestrian Program contribution to Mr. Coron's concept and is provided as a phase one pilot project. This phase one segment could serve as a platform for future phases of output that could involve other local, state, federal, private entities as desired.
​
Specifically, the effort works to place banners and posters encouraging bicycle helmet use through personalized photo/mascot/logo identification at select locations for heightened community and customer/client/student identification and association of the message. Participation could be either as a [SUPPORTER], where name and logo is listed as a support of the safety education and encouragement or a [PARTNER], where a photo/logo/likeness is branded on outreach banner, poster and yard sign materials for potential display at no cost. [Sign-up HERE!]
City of Gainesville Bicycle/Pedestrian Program roll-out of this pilot effort is targeted for Fall 2023.
