Why Wear Helmet?

Although wearing one doesn't mean you can be reckless, but a helmet will provide some protection for your face, head, and brain in case you fall down. As a conclusion, the use of bicycle helmets is effective in preventing head injury

Must :

• Should fit you properly by test the size on verities of helmet.
• Wear it the right way
• The straps should always be fastened and tightened so the helmet should not move from side to side or front to back
• Once the helmet no longer fits your child, it should be replaced with a larger helmet. Helmet should also be replaced after an accident or fall, as it may not longer be strong enough to protect your child from another fall.

• Road Rules
  
  If you're allowed to ride on the street, follow these road rules:
  
• Always ride with your hands on the handlebars.
• Always stop and check for traffic in both directions when leaving your driveway, an alley, or a curb.
• Cross at intersections. When you pull out between parked cars, drivers can't see you coming.
• Walk your bike across busy intersections using the crosswalk and following traffic signals.
• Ride on the right-hand side of the street, so you travel in the same direction as cars do. Never ride against traffic.
• Use bike lanes or designated bike routes wherever you can.
• Don't ride too close to parked cars. Doors can open suddenly.
• Stop at all stop signs and obey traffic (red) lights just as cars do.
• Ride single-file on the street with friends.
• When passing other bikers or people on the street, always pass to their left side, and call out "On your left!" so they know that you are coming.
