"Look both ways before you go into the street!" Watching young children ride bicycles is nerve racking at times. Frankly, I am surprised ws havent had a wore accident then what we have had. I am aleo really plaaaed with tha childs skill advancement However, I racagnixa that being able to stay on the bicycle going over curbs is not all than ia to riding a bike. I got a new hike, and helmet, this year myaelf. I had never worn a helmet before, but after tfaiiaumnwr, I wont rids without one. Drivers ars so oblivious, or in such ahurry, that bike riding ia quite dangerous. If it ia dangeroua for an adult that ia tuned in to tha nuances of traffic, imagine the risk of young children who have no real idea about tha danger of not watching where the care are, where they ere going, and can they aea tha bike rider. Young children can 1m taught to look both ways, and to stiopat stop signs, but developmentally they are no where near adults in handling V' iXif1.. : va J" .. uvfc: j USA is drawn to make a new playground for. students at East Elementary tf, KiUlBBaM traffic situations. complicated Children also get into tha "fallow tha loader' mentality. THi is where they just follow each other without bothering to see if it is really safe. The assumption ia that if one mads it, well all make it. Reridential areas are dangerous because of a feeling of safety for riders. However, when children are riding their bikes to admal in residential areas, there ia generally a good deal of traffic, children and parents in a hurry. Thia situation cries out fbr a wanness. Until the snow flits (and we're making assumptions), students will be traveling to school an their bicycles. As a driver, be mindfel of thia and take a few extra seconds to look around, and alow down when driving through residential and school areas. As a parent, review with your children safe riding practices, including the use of a helmet every time a child ridss a bike. The helmet wont prevent an accident, but it may prevent a very serious injury. Err on tha side of safety.
