- Understand your school rules for biking to school

- using a map, plan the safest route to school (least busy roads)

- invite your neighborhood friends, and those whose homes you pass on the way, to join you. Do not bike alone.

- Before heading out, always check your brakes and your tire pressure

- ride on the right side of the road (with traffic)

- ride single file and, on busy roads, ride inside the white bike lane

- Stop at all stop signs, and cross streets single file

- use proper hand signals for turning: left arm out to the left for a left turn; left arm bent w/ hand pointing straight up for a right turn.

- always wear a well-fitting helmet!

By biking to school, you do your part to reduce traffic and pollution in town, while enjoying an invigorating (or leisurely) ride that leaves you feeling awake, refreshed and ready to learn.
