- Check with Mom and Dad about how far and where you are allowed to ride.
- Always use both hands on the handle bars.
- When leaving your driveway or approaching the street, look both ways for oncoming vehicles.
- Cross at proper intersections. Do not cross the street from in between parked cars.
- Ride with traffic.
- Don't ride too close to parked cars in case the door opens.

How can you tell if a bike is the right size?
- For girls - have them sit on the bike seat and hold the handle bars. The balls of her feet should be able to touch the ground.
- For boys - have them straddle the top bar. There should be a clearance of about 1".
