Bicycle Safety

Each year approximately 250 children ages 14 and under are killed in bicycle-related incidents. 90% of bicycle related deaths (all ages) are the result of collisions with motor vehicles. Children between the ages of 5 and 14 have a death rate more than two times the death rate of all other bicycle riders. The fatality rate rises rapidly beginning at about age 4 and is the highest among 12 to 14-year olds. Here are some simple KlaasKids Foundation Guidelines for safety around the home:

• Protect your head and wear a good helmet. One that is approved by ANSI, ASTM or SNELL.
• Wear your helmet properly over the forehead. Straps should be tight and helmet should be down over forehead.
