1991Year While some schools offer classes in bicycle riding, it is still primarily up to parents and guardians to introduce children to bicycling and safe cycling skills. Here are some tips on bicycle safety from the Bicycle Institute of America, a Washington trade group. Buy a Bike That Fits Bicycles that are too big are hard to control. Standing, a child should be able to straddle a bike with about an inch of clearance over the horizontal bar between the seat and handlebars. If the bike has no horizontal bar, use a yardstick to simulate one. Adjust the seat so that with the ball of the foot in the middle of the pedal, the leg is slightly bent when the pedal is all the way down. For maximum control, the handlebars should be more or less even with the seat. Wear a Helmet If all cyclists wore helmets, 85 percent of fatalities and most permanent brain injuries could be prevented. Acceptable helmets carry stickers indicating approval by the Snell Memorial Foundation or the American National Standards Institute. Different Rules for Different Ages Children age 6 and under should ride under adult supervision, even on sidewalks, which also have hazards, like driveway crossings. Children 7 to 8 may ride unsupervised but not in the street. With training, children 9 and older may ride on their own but should avoid busy streets until they show sound judgment. Know the Basics Children ready for street riding should be taught to ride with traffic, to walk a bike to the street before starting out, to differentiate among traffic signals, and to know that left turns can be made more safely by walking the bike across.
