  • Ride on the sidewalk when you can. If not, ride in the same direction as traffic as far on the right-hand side as possible. 
  • Know and use hand signals. 
  • Be predictable by making sure you ride in a straight line and don’t swerve between cars.

  • Wear bright colors and use lights, especially when riding at night and in the morning. Reflectors on your clothes and bike will help you be seen.
  • Ride together as a family until all members are comfortable and confident riders!
