Teaching Your Child the Rules
We cannot over-state how import this entire owner’s manual is to the rider’s safety.
We also understand Kids need to be taught ... and to have frequently reinforced ... the following rules and
lessons which adults are already expected to know.
We urge you to take the time to familiarize yourself with this owner’s manual and the rules in this section.
Teach the rules to your child before you let your child ride unsupervised.
1.Rules
• No playing in the road or in the street.
• No riding on busy streets.
• No riding at dawn, dusk or at night.
• Stop for all STOP signs.
• Ride on the right of traffic.
2.Lessons
The lessons that follow relate to some of the most common real situations that children encounter when
riding their bikes. Go over these situations with your child and make sure the lesson objective is
accomplished.
a. Driveway Ride out
When a youngster rides out of the driveway and is struck by a car, that is called a ride out accident.
What can you do? First, realize the danger of your own driveway. If there are obstructions to the view of
passing motorists (like bushes or trees), trim them back. You might park your car in front of the driveway, if
local ordinance permits.
