BICYCLE SAFETY TIPS

Head injuries are the most serious type of injury and the most common cause of death for bicyclists

Studies have proven that bicycle helmets work to reduse head injury

Parents should set good example by wearing a helmet, also

Teach your child to look left-right-left before entering a roadway or intersection

Do not weave in and out of parked cars, be predictable

Always be alert and pay attention while riding, watch for traffic and obstacles

Ride on the right side of the roadway with traffic - NEVER against traffic

Always look behind and to the left before moving to the left

Hold onto the handlebars at all times

Use hand signals to indicate a turn or stop

Walk your bicycle across crosswalks
