Parents, Please Talk to Your Children About Bicycle Safety
As more children are out enjoying the summer on their bicycles and electric-assist bikes, we ask parents to take a few moments to review the rules of the road with them.
Bicycles and electric-assist bikes operating on city streets are required to follow the same traffic laws as other vehicles. This includes:
• Stopping completely at all stop signs.
• Riding on the right side of the roadway, traveling with the flow of traffic.
• Staying alert and watching for vehicles, pedestrians, and other hazards.
• Wearing a properly fitted helmet is strongly encouraged for every ride.
Taking a few minutes to discuss these rules can help prevent crashes and keep everyone safe. We appreciate your help in making our streets safer for all who use them.
