Bike Safety Reminders 

When it comes to  bike safety, the most common things discussed are usually bike helmets, and the need for them to be properly fitted. However, did you know that helmets are not the only thing that needs to be properly? Tina Sanders of Safe Kids Grand Forks says the child’s bike itself also needs to be properly fitted, and the right size. 

Saunders says it’s also important for the bike to be in good operating order, as that lowers the risk of crashes and accidents. 

Sanders says it’s also important for your child to be following the proper traffic laws, just like if they were driving a vehicle.
