Safety when riding a bike!

Riding a Bike:

Riding a bike can be loads of fun and a great source of exercise! However, it is so important to remember to ride safely and make good choices to make sure you aren’t in danger or at risk of injury. Some of the important things to remember when riding a bike include:

- Always wear a helmet!

- Wear bright clothes so you are visible to others!

- Ride a bike that is the appropriate size for you, not too big and not too small.

- If riding on the road, ride in the direction that the cars are going. (Left – Australia)

- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated!

- Whenever there is a place a car may come out from; stop, look left, look right, look left again.

- Obey the traffic laws!

- Ride on a cycling track if available!

- Don’t get distracted, always stay focused!
