Considering law only requires for helmets, knee and elbow pads, the numbers are not surprising. Maybe learning more about bike safety will help as well. http://2wheelbikes.com/resource.html has a lot of information.
A trail would be most beneficial! AT least it will keep riders on a designated area. I would just encourage new riders to do some research before jumping on a trail. I found a lot of info here: http://2wheelbikes.com/resource.html. Safety first!

That is awesome! I love arts and crafts. We look for ideas on sites like http://www.homeseasons.com/ and just roll with it. Makes for great gifts and good costumes, too!
