It’s bike riding time! So, parents, with the weather getting better and the kids wanting to get out and ride their bikes, let’s all take a minute to remind them of a few bicycle safety tips.
Wear a bicycle helmet.
Ride with traffic.
Ride to the right if you are moving slower than traffic, unless you are turning left, passing another bicycle or vehicle, or avoiding hazards.
Stop at stop signs and red lights.
Use a light, reflectors and reflective clothing during darkness.
Wear bright clothing during the daytime.
Keep a safe distance from parked cars.
Use proper hand signals when turning, stopping or changing lanes.
Use extra caution when it is raining, and allow extra time to stop.
Cross railroad tracks at a right angle, “perpendicular.”
