In Cranford, New Jersey, police officers are giving out tickets—but don’t worry, these ones come with extra cheese.
As part of a bike helmet safety initiative, local kids caught doing the right thing—wearing their helmets while riding—are being rewarded with a “ticket” for a free slice of pizza and a drink. It’s not just delicious, it’s genius.
The program, now in its third year, has been a hit with the community. Officers say they’ve already spotted a bunch of young riders earning their free food this summer, and the goal is simple: promote safety in a way that actually gets kids excited.
This initiative is also part of a broader community push, which includes bike rodeos and other safety-focused events designed to make the streets safer for both drivers and riders.
Bottom line: wear a helmet, get a pizza. Seems like a win-win for everyone.
