Riders who use New York City’s bike-sharing program can now rent a helmet too.

Bike tour and rental company Bike and Roll NYC is partnering with Citi Bike to provide helmet rentals to all users of the program.

Helmets can be rented at 10 locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. They can be rented in one location and dropped off at another. It costs $3 a day or $15 a week.

The locations are near many Citi Bike stations.
