RIDE LIKE A PRO!
Bicycle safety is very important! Riding your bike can be a lot of fun, but you need to follow the rules and laws to stay safe. Here are a few tips to keep you riding safe (some are laws).- Always wear a helmet.
- Obey all traffic signs and signals.
- Ride single file on streets and highways and keep to the right side of the road, with the flow of traffic.
- Use proper hand signals when in traffic.
- No stunts or weaving in and out of traffic!
- Stop and look twice before crossing an intersection.
- Watch for cars pulling out of driveways, side streets and away from the curb, they may not see you!
- Give pedestrians the right of way.
- Be sure your bike is in good working order. Check the brakes, tires, chain, and lights before each ride.
- If you’re riding between sunset and sunrise, you must have lights, white in front and red in back.
- Closed in shoes and riding gloves are a good way to protect your hands and feet if you do have a crash.
