Safety Tips

Bike Safety

Teach children the following bicycle and motorbike safety rules:

  • Wear a bicycle or motorcycle helmet on every ride. Check to see if your helmet should have a safety certification.
  • Ride so drivers and cyclists can see you.
  • Look both ways for oncoming vehicles before turning or crossing a street. Go only when it is clear.
  • Watch out for potholes, cracks, rocks, wet leaves, storm grates, railroad tracks or anything that could make you lose control of your bike.
  • Make sure your bike fits your height, weight and age.
  • Inflate tires properly.
  • Check brakes before riding.
  • Bikers should ride behind one another and with the flow of traffic.
