Grab your bike, bring a friend, and let’s ride!

With many students choosing bikes 🚴 as their daily ride to school, it's important for parents and guardians to talk about safe cycling.

These conversations can help young riders to be safe and confident on the road. To help get the wheels turning, here are some conversation starters designed to promote safety and confidence while biking:

✅ Always wear a helmet that fits properly. Buckle it up tight – it should sit level on your head and not wobble.
👕 Wearing bright clothing and using lights or reflectors for riding in the early morning or evening can help you stay more visible to other road users.
🚲 Make sure your bike is the right size for you. If you’re wobbling or tip-toeing to pedal, it’s time to adjust.
🛣️ Always stop at intersections, look both ways, and listen for traffic before crossing. When crossing, remember to get off your bike and walk it across the street.
✅Stick to sidewalks or bike paths when allowed. If you’re on the road, ride in the same direction as traffic.
👋Let others know what you’re doing. Use hand signs when you’re turning or stopping.
⚙️Before each ride, check your brakes, tires, and chain. A quick bike check can prevent a big problem.
✅Riding with a friend or adult is safer and more fun!
