BICYCLE SAFETY FOR MY FRIENDS |
|
|
|
1. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR HELMET. IN CASE OF ACCIDENT, IT IS THE ONLY PROTECTION YOUR HEAD HAS. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
2. NEVER RIDE A BICYCLE WITH LOW TIRES OR BROKEN PARTS. KEEPING YOUR BICYCLE IN GOOD SHAPE MAKES IT SAFER TO RIDE. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. NEVER RIDE AT NIGHT OR DUSK WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTS AND REFLECTORS. YOU HAVE TO HELP THE CAR DRIVERS SEE YOU. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
4. ALWAYS RIDE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STREET. IF A CAR DOES BUMP YOU, THIS WILL MAKE IT A LITTLE SOFTER LANDING |
|
|
|
|
|
5. OBEY ALL THE SAME RULES CARS FOLLOW, LIKE STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS AND KEEPING TO RIGHT |
|
|
|
|
|
6. WALK YOUR BIKE ACROSS INTERSECTIONS, ROUGH PAVEMENT, AND RAILROAD TRACKS |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
7. ALWAYS REMEMBER, WATCH OUT FOR THE CARS AND ACT LIKE THEY CAN'T SEE YOU. |

I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ADULTS TO SIT WITH THE YOUNGSTERS AND DISCUSS BICYCLE SAFETY WITH THEM. MORE INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND AT (oops, the site I was linked to here is no more. I have requested permission to link to a different site, one I found to be very good. ) |

MORE ON BICYCLE SAFETY, ALONG WITH GAMES AND ACTIVITIES, SIGN MEANINGS, HAND SIGNALS, AND SO MUCH MORE CAN BE FOUND AT AN INFORMATIVE SITE FROM PENNDOT |
