2. LESSONS
The lessons that follow relate to some of the most
common real situations that children encounter when
riding their bikes. Go over these situations with your
child and make sure the lesson objective is
accomplished.
Driveway Rideout : When a youngster rides out
of the driveway and is struck by a car, that is called a
rideout accident.
What can you do?
First, realize the danger of your own driveway. If
there are obstructions to the view of passing
motorists (like bushes or trees), trim them back.
You might park your car in front of the driveway, if
local ordinance permits. This way, your child can’t
use the driveway as a launching pad.
But the most important thing you can do is teach
your child about driveway safety. Take your child
outside to the driveway and have him/her practice
the following steps:
!
Stop before entering the street.
!
Look left, right and left again for traffic.
!
If there’s no traffic, proceed into the roadway.
Running the Stop Sign: Car/bike crashes can
happen when a cyclist runs a stop sign. Most cyclists
who get hit riding through stop signs know that they
RIDING SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY
NOTE: Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury
and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume
the responsibility for that risk. Not the people who sold
you the bike. Not the people who made it. Not the
people who distribute it. Not the people who manage or
maintain the roads or trails you ride on. You. So you
need to know - and to practice - the rules of safe and
responsible riding.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS
In addition to The Basics (page 7), the Rules of the
Road (page 7), the Rules of the Trail (page 9), Wet
Weather Riding (page 10), Night Riding (page 10)
and Bicycling in Traffic (page 11) kids need to be
taught...and to have frequently reinforced...the following
rules and lessons which adults are already
expected to know. We urge you to take the time to
familiarize yourself with these rules and to teach them
to your child before you let your child ride
unsupervised.
