Welcome to the BHSI Media Room!


Summary: Our Media Policy in a Word: Relaxed


To newspaper or magazine editors, reporters and free-lancers:

You are free to quote original material from this site for publication in newspapers and magazines. That's what cut-and-paste is all about! This does not apply to material from other sources where we include copyright information for them. Otherwise all of our pages are copyrighted by BHSI, and you have permission to use them verbatim.

We have a current issue quote page to provide you with quotes on current hot topics if your deadline is pressing. Please attribute all quotes to "Randy Swart, Director of the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute." We also encourage "quotes" from our web pages--they seem to come out as accurately as any other quotes. If you have time, you are welcome to call us at 703-486-0100 to speak to the live Randy Swart. If you leave a message he gets paged and will call you back.

We also have a page of Briefs on new developments that you may find useful. In fact, it may be worth checking periodically.


Looking for Stats?

We have all the numbers we have been able to find on helmets and injuries on our long Statistics Page.


Looking for photos you can use?


That's always a challenge. See our page on Graphics and Clip Art for whatever we have been able to find.


And to web Masters or Intranet Masters:

Links to us are always ok, and you don't have to ask permission. The configuration of our web page files is usually very stable, and if we do change something we leave a referral page there, so links to us are not likely to go stale. We have a page for Webmasters here with more info.
