1.STOP 2.LOOK – left, right & left AGAIN! 3.LISTEN Careful when stepping out from between parked cars! TAKE OFF THOSE HEADPHONES! YOU CAN’T HEAR WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND YOU!

STOP WALK Start walking when you see the “man” walking on the sign. NEVER RUN – you could trip & fall! WALK YOUR BIKE in the crosswalk too! If the red hand starts flashing while you are in the crosswalk…don’t worry…just keep walking at a normal pace! DON’T RUN! You have plenty of time! USE Crosswalks when available. Drivers EXPECT to see you there!

When you are riding your BIKE…you should always ride in the SAME DIRECTION AS TRAFFIC! If there is no sidewalk where you are WALKING… you should always walk in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC (against it). SEE THE DIFFERENCE?! OK! LISTEN UP…

It is very important that your bike works the right way EVERY time you ride it! CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOUR TIRES HAVE AIR IN THEM! DOES THE WHEEL STOP WHEN YOU USE THE BRAKE? IS ANYTHING STUCK IN THE CHAIN? DOES IT MOVE SMOOTHLY?

REMEMBER THIS RULE: There should be a HELMET ON YOUR HEAD if you have WHEELS AT YOUR FEET! IF YOU’RE UNDER 18 YEARS OLD YOU MUST WEAR A HELMET PUT IT ON RIGHT EYES EARS MOUTH When you look UP…you should be able to see your helmet! The strap should form a “V” around your ear. The strap should be loose enough so you can talk…but tight enough so you feel it when you open your mouth wide! IF YOUR HELMET IS DAMAGED YOU MUST GET A NEW ONE!
