If your child will be riding a bike to school, please take a moment to watch the videos and learn about other bicycle safety and maintenance opportunities here: www.westerville.org/bike Basic bicycle safety tips to review include: 1) Always wear a helmet. It’s for your safety and it’s the law. 2) Keep your bike in good working order. Make sure lights and reflectors are installed. 3) STOP. LOOK. LISTEN. Never ride while distracted. 4) Speak up and let others know you’re there. Saying “on your left” lets them know you’re behind them and want to pass. 5) Use proper hand signals when you are turning. 6) Never assume a car, truck or other vehicle will stop or slow down for you while you’re riding.
