Take Action!
Make safe biking a family activity.
Use the right size bike.
Riders of any age should be able to put one leg on each side of the top tube (or bar) of their bike with both feet flat on the ground. If your child’s feet can’t reach the ground, the bike isn’t safe for her to ride.
Check the brakes.
Make sure the brakes are working before you ride. Bikes that brake when you pedal backwards are best for kids. Young children’s hands aren’t big enough or strong enough to use hand brakes.
