Remember to bring your bicycles and always encourage children to follow the following safety tips while riding their bicycle:

• Encourage children to wear properly fitted helmets when riding their bikes.
• Teach your kids to ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, not against it, and to use appropriate hand signals and respect traffic signals.
• Tell your kids to use bicycle lights when riding in the evening or early morning, and make sure their bikes have reflectors.
