BIKE SAFETEY

Do you have a bike? Do you like to ride? Well I do and I enjoy riding. While we all enjoy getting out and seeing the sights on our bike, we certainly need to be care full as well. Did you know that over 300 children in New Zealand have fallen from their bike and suffered serious brain injuries? I some cases these injuries may have been avoided .Before you even start to ride we need to do some checks. Wearing a helmet is the number 1 rule. Check your helmet each time you use it to make sure it has no cracks or damage and fits your head snuggly. Always make sure the bike you are riding is the correct size for your height. You can check this by sitting on the seat with your feet either side of the bike you should be able to touch the ground easily with both feet. If you can do this, your bike is the correct size for you. Test your brakes.You need to be able to stop. Check that you have working front and back brakes. Make sure your tyres are inflated and your spokes are straight. If your not sure,get an adult to help. Now are you ready to go riding,right? MAYBE NOT! Look down look at yourself in the mirror,Are you wearing bright clothes?are your shoes closed in? Try to avoid wearing clothes that blend in with the road. You want to be bright, You want to make sure that those big trucks and cars can see you, and when you are riding at night or on a dark gloomy day, make sure that you have some reflective strips on. Wearing proper closed in shoes is important. Wearing good shoes can avoid accidents like getting your feet jammed in the pedals or chain. Owww That could hurt. Now that your bike is checked and you dressed all bright are you ready to ride? YES But before you take off riding like the wind, think about where you are riding? Who are you sharing the road with? Who are you sharing the footpath with? If you are riding on the road, ride on the shoulder and move with the flow of the traffic. Try to avoid riding on a footpath as you could pose a hazard to pedestrians and reversing cars could pose a hazard to you. A lot of towns now have dedicated cycle ways for riding, using them would be your safest option. Always use your common sense and if in doubt check with an adult. So next time you are out on your bike, the cold wind on your face, the world zooming bye, take a little time to remember the four Bs B bright B safe B seen and B smart ||
