🚲 Stay Safe on Your Bike!
Introduction
Riding a bike is a great way to feel the wind, see new places, and have fun. But to keep the adventure happy, we need to follow some simple safety rules.
1. Wear Your Helmet
- Why? A helmet protects your head if you fall, just like a superhero’s shield.
- How? Put it on level, tighten the straps, and make sure it sits snug on your forehead.
2. Look Before You Ride
- Check The Path: Look left, right, and left again before crossing a street.
- Eyes On The Road: Keep your eyes forward, not on your phone or a toy.
3. Use Hand Signals
- Turn Left: Stretch out your left arm straight.
- Turn Right: Bend your left arm up like a “L”.
These signals tell drivers and friends where you’re going, just like waving to a friend.
4. Keep Your Bike in Good Shape
- Tires: Push on them; they should feel firm, not squishy.
- Brakes: Squeeze the handles—your bike should stop quickly, like a cat pausing mid‑run.
