Bikewise is an organisation that teaches kids about bike safety,The organisation visited our school on Monday.Firstly they taught us how to put on our helmets properly,You must check for cracks in your helmet next the straps go right under your ears.You have to tighten the helmet and make sure that the helmet is by eyebrow level.The straps under your chin can't go above your chin,because if it does the helmet isn't secure.
Secondly,they thought us about our bikes.And how we must check our bikes before we hop on,we have 5 things to check for Quick release,Breaks,Secure handle bars,Wheel pressure and seat hight.
The quick release is the little clip behind your wheel should be close or else the wheel will just slide off.Next we have the breaks if the breaks aren't working then things can get a little messy...3rd we have the handle bars if the bars aren't straight you don't have any control.4th we have wheel pressure if your wheels are flat its bad for your wheels.Seat hight if your seat is too low your legs might drag on the ground and if its too high you might not be able to pedal.
In my opinion this lesson was really helpful.
