Bike Safety Tips

Wear a properly-fitted helmet. It is the best way to prevent head injuries and death. Learn how to properly fit a helmet for your children in seconds. Ride on the sidewalk when you can. If not, ride in the same direction as traffic as far on the righthand side as possible.

Use hand signals and follow the rules of the road. Be predictable by making sure you ride in a straight line and don’t swerve between cars. Wear bright colors and use lights, especially when riding at night and in the morning. Reflectors on your clothes and bike will help you be seen.

Ride with your children. Stick together until you are comfortable that your kids are ready to ride on their own.
