Convince your child how important the helmet can be to his or her safety. Develop a Bicycle Helmet Habit in the family, and set a good example by wearing your own helmet when bicycling. Always wear an approved bicycle safety helmet. Stop and check for traffic before you enter a street from a driveway, parking lot or sidewalk. Avoid riding after dark or if the weather is bad.
All cyclists are at risk during the hours of darkness.
Obey traffic signs, signals and pavement markings. Obeying the law can keep you out of many hazardous driving situations. Drive on the right-hand side of the street. Move with the flow of traffic. Be extra careful turning left.
