What You Should Know

Bicycling is fun, good exercise and good for the environment.

You and your family can enjoy many years of safe bicycle riding when you understand the risks involved and take steps to prevent accidents and injuries.

5 Keys To Safe Bicycling
1. Wear a bicycle helmet.
2. Be visible.
3. Stay alert.
4. Know and obey traffic rules.
5. Be predictable.

Wear A Helmet

Whether you are riding your bicycle up the street or longer distances, you should always wear a helmet. Do not assume you will be safe from injury just because you are going a short distance or riding on an unpaved surface.
