Parents and other caregivers must always set a good example. When driving in school zones, near playgrounds, or in neighbor-hoods where children might be playing, motorists should always expect a child to dart out into the roadway. Children should wear bright colored clothing in the daytime and carry flashlights or wear reflective materials at night. When turning left at a green light or making a right turn on red, motor vehicle drivers need to look for pedestrians as well as cars. Pedestrians have the right of way in these situations.
Oversized bikes are especially dangerous.
Make sure the air pressure in the tires is in the recommended range printed don the side of the tire. Check tires for big cuts, bulges and bubbles. Also check places where the inner lining can be seen. A bicycle helmet should fit comfortably and securely. You should not be able to move the helmet more than an inch in any direction.
