This seems like a good Urne to upgrade the parents on the importance of bicycle safety as well. The single Most important thing to remember is that Most bicycle deaths and injuries are the result of head injuries. As most of us know, these injuries can be reduced by wearing a helmet while riding. It was good to see that when asked, almost ail children replied that, yes, they did wear a helinet. When later asked if tJieir parents rode a helmet while riding, very few children could answer positively. This is likely to change however, as it will soon be-come law that wearing a helmet is mandatory.' Another small rule that we are aIl aware of but tend, to ignore is signalling.

Also remember that like a car, you are required to ride on the right hand side of the road. Stay as close to curb or side of the road as possible. When riding on the street, be wary of parked cars. A door that opens just as you glide by, will likely cause considerable damage to the bike, the car, and of course, you. Also keep an eye open for cars that pull out without looking. Sewer covers are another potential danger to be cautious of when riding m the street. The Durham Regional Police say that they prefer that students don't take a bike to school until th ey are in at least grade three. The reason is that there is a lot of responsibility and rules to riding a bike. Also remnind your children that there should only be one person per bicycle. 1Keep these rules in mind and have a safe summer!
