Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Children has seen more cycling-related head injuries during lockdown than the whole of 2019.
Mark Lilley, its major trauma coordinator, asks for kids to wear helmets when they're out on their bikes.

@WHO
This weekend is going to be hot, but the water will still be cold - cold enough to kill.
If you get into trouble in the water, fight your instincts and float first: lean back, extend your arms and float
We congratulate the @UN today and the many people involved in the decision to commit to greater efforts to prevent drowning.
It’s estimated that over 235,000 people drown every year, and drowning is among the ten leading causes of death for children aged 5-14 years.
Today we are remembering the unique contribution that #DavidProwse made both to entertainment and to #roadsafety.
Between Green Cross Code Man and Tufty Fluffytail, several generations were taught about the dangers of the road.
Thank you David.
"My Lords, the government’s failure to act means that 1,711 people are killed and over 28,000 seriously injured on our roads every year. This is unacceptable!"
Heading to the water this week?
If in trouble remember this life saving advice: Float to Live
Lean back, use your arms and legs to help you float, then get control of your breathing before calling for help or swimming to safety.
