Bike Safety For Kids
A few important tips to share with your children:
Wear A Helmet: Head injury is the most common cause of death among cyclists, and most states require children to wear a helmet. Fortunately, wearing a helmet reduces head injuries by 85%.
Ride on the right side of the road with the flow of traffic and in a single file.
Ride a bike that fits: Buying an oversized bike that a child can “grow into” is dangerous. Children wobble and have less control.
Watch Out At Intersections: More than 70% of accidents occur at intersections. For kids, that’s often where the driveway enters the road. Teach your kids to look both ways before proceeding.
