Bicycle Safety

While bike riding is a staple of summer for many, it can lead to death and injury for those who aren't careful. Some rules for bike safety are:

Always wear a bike helmet. Most bike deaths are a result of head injury and helmets can help prevent this. Helmets should sit evenly between the ears and low on the forehead.

Ride your bike in a way cars know you are there. Wear bright colors or clothes that reflect light at night so cars, buses, and trucks can see you. Also, get a headlight for the front of your bike and "reflectors" on the front and back of your bike if you ride at night.

Follow bike traffic rules. Bikes have to follow the same traffic rules and signs as cars. You must ride in the same direction as the cars are going, ride your bike single-file, signal when you want to stop or turn, look out for holes, wet leaves, or cracks in the street which can make you crash your bike. As well, ride away from the curb in case a car pulls out or someone opens a car door suddenly. For additional information, contact the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration hotline at: 1-888-327-4236.
