Sunday is Mother’s Day and in honor of all the moms out there we’re dedicating this week’s Fast Facts Friday post to these band-aid-toting, snack-providing, TLC-offering mothers!

Here are a few random facts for you all that are all about moms:

1)  Many of the sweaters worn by Mr. Rogers on the popular television show, Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, were actually knitted by his real mother. (Mother’s Day Celebration)

2)  The Bell True Fit helmet was named to Mothering Magazine’s Mother’s Day “Strokes of Genius” wish list for its cool and comfortable fit. (Mothering Magazine)

3)  This Sunday the Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania is hosting its first annual Mother’s Day Bike-a-Thon, benefitting several charities, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Shriner’s Children Hospitals and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. (Bleacher Report)

4)  In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed the orders that made Mother’s Day a national holiday. (A Girl’s World)

5) This year, The Huffington Post encourages families to celebrate Mother’s Day by honoring Mother Earth and suggests “instead of getting in the car to go somewhere, take a family bicycle ride in your neighborhood.” (Huffington Post)

And in addition to sharing these random facts around Mother’s Day, we also want to share our wish for you all to have a very happy and safe Mother’s Day, no matter if it’s a bike-a-thon, time to get away and dig into a favorite book or a nice family ride to a favorite breakfast locale!

Mothering Magazine’s list of suggested “asks” for Mother’s Day!

Double-check your calendars and your to-do lists: Sunday May 10th is Mother’s Day, and we want to tell all moms — mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and aunts – how honored we are to have them in our lives.

Of course, part of Mother’s Day is selecting the “best” card and gift for our moms. There are tons of “top 10 lists” out there, such as the goodies on the Cool Mom Picks or Parenting list, and the recommended items range from spa treatments to photo books. Bell Sports is honored that mothering magazine felt its new True Fit helmet was worthy of inclusion in Candace Walsh’s Strokes of Genius column, focused entirely on items that moms should consider putting on their gift list.

You see, we – of course – believe that every loved one should wear a helmet while participating in a wheeled-sport activity. And what makes moms happy is knowing that their own loved ones are taking every safety precaution possible and making smart decisions, like wearing a helmet. (It doesn’t hurt anything that the helmet designs are cool and fun to wear either.)

Happy Mother’s Day, and be safe!
