For example, you could include a short article on bike safety in your newsletter to parents. Or you might take a field trip to a bicycle repair shop to learn how to get bikes ready for the new season. If children ride their bikes to the after-school program, set up a bicycle safety clinic. Have the children check their helmet and their bike for safety factors. Or you might encourage the children to prepare a skit about the importance of wearing helmets when riding their bikes or the rules of the road.
Bicycles are an important part of most children's lives during the elementary school years.
