2.	Always stop at the end of the driveway. Many crashes between a car and bike happen when kids don't stop at the end of their driveway to look for cars and simply shoot into traffic, or they get hit while crossing a driveway on the sidewalk and are struck by a car pulling out of the driveway.

3.	Always ride on the right side of the road. In most states, your bicycle is regarded as a vehicle when it's being ridden on the street. You should always ride on the right side of the street, just like you would in a car, even if you're just going a block or two.

4.	Obey traffic laws. In most states, your bike is considered a vehicle, which means you have the same right to the road as a car, but also means you must obey traffic laws just like a car. Obey stop signs and stop lights, and learn and follow all traffic laws and signals.

5.	Be predictable. Don't do anything that would surprise the driver of a car. Don't swerve, weave in and out of traffic, run stop signs or stoplights.

6.

Signal when making a turn. It helps motorists a lot if they know what to expect. Let them know where you're going by using proper hand signals for turning and stopping. Signal a left turn by holding your left arm straight out. A right turn is indicated by holding your left arm out, with your elbow bent 90 degrees and your hand pointed up, palm facing forward. You can indicate a stop with a similar arm signal, only your hand will point down with the palm facing rearward. Before changing lanes, always look behind you to see that it's clear.

7.

Be seen-be visible to traffic and other cyclists. Sometimes it's hard for drivers to see bicyclists because we're smaller than cars. Wear light-colored clothing when you ride, and try to get a brightly-colored helmet so you'll be easier to spot. Do not ride at night. Have someone pick you up if you're out after dark, or walk your bike home.

8.

Don't ride too close to parked cars. Cars can still be dangerous when they're parked. The driver may suddenly open the door in your path, or pull out suddenly. Leave at least three feet of distance when passing parked cars, and be alert for cars that may be pulling out onto the roadway in front of you.

9.

Yield the right-of-way. Cars have to slow down for walkers, and so do bicycle riders. Keep your speed down when riding on a path, trail or sidewalk where you share the path with walkers and joggers. Make sure other people know you're coming, so they don't suddenly step into your path-call out to them when you are approaching or passing, so you don't surprise them.

10.	Don't clown around. Never hitch a ride on a moving vehicle, or do stunts or wheelies on a road with cars or trucks. Never ride with more than one person on a bike, unless the bike has more than one seat-one person to a seat.

BONUS TIP: It's an excellent idea to learn how to change an inner tube. Knowing how to do it beforehand sure beats having to figure it out on the side of the road. Take a few minutes to learn how fix, or change, a flat, and carry a pump and spare tube on longer rides. You'll be glad you did!

Clothing and Accessories

The bicycle is obviously the most important piece of bicycling equipment, but there are special clothes and bike accessories that are designed to make your riding life easier and more convenient. If you're going to spend a lot of time with your bicycle, you may want to consider some of these specialty items.

Clothing

Although you can ride a bicycle wearing everyday clothes, the right outfit will make your ride a lot more comfortable and fun. Next to a helmet, cycling shorts are probably the most important piece of cycling clothing. If you don't like the traditional look of tight-fitting bike shorts there are now baggy cycling shorts available. Cycling gloves are extremely comfortable, since they have padded palms. Plus they'll offer your hands some protection if you happen to take a spill. For young children, elbow and knee pads might be a good idea, especially on those first tentative rides.

Accessories

You might want to equip your bike with a water bottle holder and a water bottle, especially if you're taking longer rides. You can also outfit your bike with a bag or rack to carry items you'll want to have along on your rides, like a mid-ride snack or picnic lunch. It's also a good idea to carry a pump, spare inner tube and patch kit in case you get a flat. Just how you customize your bike to suit your needs is entirely up to you!

What Size Bike?

Riding the wrong size bike is like trying to play basketball in Shaquille O'Neal's size 22 shoes-when you've got size 9 feet. You can do it, but it will be awkward and not a lot of fun. Shopping for a bicycle is a lot like shopping for clothes-it's best to go to the store and try one on. To figure out which size bike you need for yourself or your child, just look below:

Fitting the rider to the bicycle
		1. at least 1" of clearance 2. minimum leg length dimension 3. highest part of the top tube

Choosing a bike for yourself

If you're a man, you'll want at least 1-2 inches of clearance between your crotch and the bicycle's top tube, when you stand straddling the bike flat-footed. If you're going to be doing some more aggressive riding, 2 or more inches may be better. Make sure the handlebar is within easy reach-you don't want to have to stretch, or feel too cramped. If you're a woman, the amount of standover clearance will be the same as it is for a man. But since women's bikes often have sloping top tubes you'll want to measure the clearance from an imaginary top tube-pretend the top tube extends horizontally from the front of the bike, and measure from there. Again, you'll want to be sure you can reach the handlebar easily, without feeling "crowded."

Choosing a bike for a child

One of the most common mistakes people make when buying kids' bikes is getting a bicycle that's too large, so the child can "grow into" it. This might sound like a good idea, but it's not. A child will have a hard time controlling a bike that's too large, and won't feel confident as a result. A properly sized bike will be safer because it will be easier to control, and a lot more fun. You size kids' bikes just as you size bikes for adults, meaning you are looking for 1-2 inches of crotch clearance over the top tube. Give at least 2 inches of room if the bike is going to be ridden over rugged terrain, as you would with a mountain bike or BMX bike. It's best if you can bring the child with you to the store to size the bicycle. If you're shopping for a bike as a surprise, you can use a tape measure to measure the child's inseam (distance from the crotch to the ground, when standing), subtract an inch or two and then use that as the standover height (distance from the ground to the top tube) for the bicycle. Make sure you measure to an imaginary, horizontal top tube on girls' bikes, just as you do for women's bikes.
