Bicycle Safety For Kids – Rules and Equipment

Make sure the bicycle is the right size for the child. 

If the bike is too big for the child, he or she will have difficulty in controlling it.

Make sure they have the protection accessories they need.                                                     Parents normally think only of helmets and don’t consider the knees,  elbows and being visible.  Bright and reflective clothing is also important   If kids can’t be seen they can’t be avoided.
Making sure our children understand the rule of biking.                                                   Although children aren’t required to get a license they have to know and obey the law like any vehicle on the road.
Educating them on the precautions they should take.                                                                   This is a hard one to educate.  Car doors suddenly opening,  bushes hiding a driveway.  watching for oncoming traffic when they have the right of way and much more. Experience some times is the only educator.
