Bike Safey
- ALWAYS wear a properly fitted Helmet.
- Ensure proper bike size for your child, not one that he or she will grow into.
- Long or loose clothing can get caught in bike chains or wheel spokes. Dress young kids appropriately
- Actively supervise children until you are comfortable that they are responsible to ride on their own.
- Children should be able to demonstrate riding competence and knowledge of the rules of the road before cycling with traffic.

- Stop and look left, right, and then left again before entering a street or crossing an intersection.
- Wear bright and reflective clothing.
