Never wear a hat under your bike helmet. • Once you have the right size helmet, wear it whenever you ride your bike so it will protect you. It should be worn level and cover your forehead. Don’t tip it back so your forehead is showing. • The straps should always be fastened. Make sure the straps are adjusted so they’re snug enough that you can’t pull or twist the helmet around on your head. • Take care of your bike helmet and don’t throw it around. That could damage the helmet and it won’t protect you as well when you really need it. If you do fall down and put your helmet to the test, be sure to get a new one. BICYCLE SAFETY TIPS: • Make sure your bike is in good condition before riding. Check your tires for proper inflation and make sure your brakes are functioning properly. • Always wear a bike helmet… and don’t forget to snap your strap! • Obey traffic signs and signals. • Use hand signals before stopping or making a turn. • Ride in the same direction as the flow of traffic. Do not ride on the wrong side of the street. • Ride single file in provided bike lanes and stay to the right. When a bike lane is not present, ride as far to the right side of the road as possible. • Be aware of traffic. Stop. Look left, right and left again before leaving a sidewalk or driveway. Enter traffic only when the road is clear. • Stop or slow down at all intersections, marked or unmarked to make sure a car is not approaching. • Concentrate – stay in control. Be visible, alert and communicate your intentions to other roadways users. • Wear bright clothing so that you are seen easily. • When riding at night, be sure your bicycle is equipped with a white headlight that illuminates the road in front and a red rear reflector that is visible in the back. • Prevent bicycle thefts. Carry a lock and use it. In case of an emergency, call 911.
