We have heard how to cross the road properly and learned about the rules of the road. Discuss with your friends how you apply road safety in your daily journeys.
- You should wear your helmet at all times when cycling.
- Children under 12 years of age should be accompanied when cycling.
- A bicycle is a vehicle and must follow the same rules as other road users. For example, traffic lights apply to cyclists too.
- Footpaths are for pedestrians not cyclists.
- Make sure the bicycle is the right size for you so you can reach the brakes properly.
- Check your brakes, lights, reflectors, tyres and bell regularly to make sure they are working and in good order.
