Educate Your Kids about Summer Bike Safety

 

Summer is almost here and your kids will be out of the house playing and biking all over the neighborhood.  Now is a good time to teach them about riding their bicycles in a safe manor.  Your homeowner’s policy can provide coverage for bicycle theft, and some homeowner’s policies have low coverage limits for things like sporting equipment.  If you own a high value bike you may want to make sure it is properly covered.  Remember any loss covered will be subject you homeowner’s insurance deductible.

 

Bike Safety Tips

• Always have your child wear a properly fitted helmet.
• Maintain your bikes on a regular basis to be sure they are functioning properly.
• Do not get distracted.  Do not listen to music or talk on the phone while bike riding.
• Whether daytime, dawn, dusk, foul weather, or at night, you need to be seen by others.  Simply wearing white does not insure your visibility.  
• Avoid riding at night.
• Go with the flow.  Bike in the same direction as traffic.
• Obey all traffic laws.  A bicycle is a vehicle, and you are a driver.  When you ride in the street, obey all traffic signs, signals, and lane markings.
