Bicycle safety is of paramount importance in our community – particularly for our school age children. We are all aware of the benefits of bicycling: it is great exercise, it helps our environment, and it is fun!!. We should feel secure and confident in encouraging our children to get on their bikes and ride – both to school and for play.

Our staff has developed a “Smart Steps for Bicycle Safety” presentation and discussion dedicated to our school children grades three through six. The purpose of the talk is to teach children the basics of riding a bicycle safely and with confidence. The presentation is approximately 30 minutes with a question and answer period following. Topics covered include:
• Safe clothing
• Correct riding techniques
• Road signs
• Signaling
• Obstacles
This presentation has already been successfully offered at Laurel Glen Elementary School at the request of the school principal, Mr. Brian Mark.
