Safety tips
Have you got the basics covered?
Whether riding on-road or off-road, day or night, a few simple steps will help to keep your clan safe and comfortable:
- Protect - a high-quality, good-fitting helmet is a must. Do not settle for less!
- Be seen - lights are essential at night and can help your child be seen better even during the day
- Be heard - can be as important as being seen, especially if approaching from behind
- Secure - keep your trusty steed secure at home, plus a portable lock provides flexibility whilst out on adventures
- Hydrate - even little people can work-up a big thirst on longer rides
- Be prepared - a portable tool, mini-pump and easy puncture repair kit can drastically improve the outcome of longer rides!
