May is National Bike Safety
Month!
 Do
you wear a helmet when you ride your bike? If your
answer is "Yes," you’re the best. On the other hand, if
you said "No," don’t put a foot on that bike pedal until
you have a helmet on your head. Bike helmets are cool!
For you older kids, or "tweens"
(kids 8-12 years old), make sure you’re wearing your
helmets too! No matter how old you are make sure you put
that helmet on. I make sure to wear one every time I
ride my bike –and everyone knows what an old dog I am.

signals when turning to let drivers know what you’re
planning to do.

6. When entering a

right, and left again.
5. When riding on the

Sparky’s #1 bike safety rule is…ALWAYS WEAR YOUR BIKE
HELMET.
Remember, younger kids should ride on sidewalks or safe
areas. Older kids can ride in the street after they
learn the rules of the road. Don’t forget to get
permission to ride your bike from a grown-up first!
