Many students ride bicycles to school on busy town streets.
Safe riding is not only about going fast. It is about
watching cars, people, and traffic lights. Before you leave
home, check your brakes and tires. Wear a hard helmet that

fits your head. Bright clothes help drivers see you early.
A careful start makes the whole ride safer for everyone.
First, follow the same road rules that cars use. Stop at
red lights and look both ways. Ride on the right side of
the street when the town allows it. Use hand signals when
10
you turn left or right. Keep both hands on the handlebars
except when you need to signal. Do not ride between parked
cars if you cannot see the road ahead. Ring your bell when
you pass walkers near the bike path. Slow down near shops
with busy doors. Share space with other bikes on the lane.

Second, stay alert near school gates and market corners.
Cars may pull out suddenly from side streets. Walk your
bike across busy crosswalks if the lights change fast.
Keep a safe distance from trucks and buses. Never use
headphones while you ride. Phone calls can wait until you
20
stop in a quiet place. Check mirrors on parked cars before
you move past them. Watch for wet leaves after rain too.
Third, care for your bike after each trip. Wipe wet mud
from the chain. Lock your bike to a strong rack at school.
Tell a parent if a light or brake feels weak. Free safety

classes at the town hall teach new riders these habits
each month. Bring a notebook if you want to remember tips.
Ask friends to ride with you on practice routes after class.
Bicycle safety on town streets protects riders and drivers.
Students who practice these steps say morning trips feel
30
calmer and clearer. When helmets stay on and signals stay
steady, everyone shares the road more fairly. Simple safe
habits make daily rides fair, visible, and fun for riders
in every neighborhood. Town streets work best when riders
stay ready, stay seen, and stay kind to people nearby.

Safe bikes and clear habits help whole streets stay calm.
