CLINIC CHATTER—Mrs. Rita Baker, RN
Summer means cycling.
One of the best ways for kids to learn about safe biking is for parents to set a good
example by going on bike rides with them and show them what safe bike riding
looks like! Follow the rules of the road and always wear a helmet yourself.
Wearing a bike helmet should never be an option. No matter where you are or how short a ride you are going on.
You may wonder why? Well, most bike accidents involve a head injury that can be severe. Each year in the
United States, about half a million kids are seriously injured in bicycle-related accidents, and most of those
injuries could have been avoided if a helmet was worn. To protect against head injuries, make sure your kids
wear a correctly fitting helmet on every ride.
A bike helmet fits well if it:
Sits level on the head
Isn’t tilted forward or backward
Has strong wide straps that fit snugly under the skin
Is tight enough that after fastening, no sudden pulling to twisting can move it
around
Bike riding is a great way to stay active as a family and get valuable together time.
