Bicycle safety assemblies

How important is bicycle safety school assemblies in your community?

In Lake County California Perfection on Wheels BMX Stunt Teams did a series of bicycle safety school assemblies. was brought in to present there version of a bicycle safety school assembly program. The goal was to try to convince a group of students that wearing helmets, and obeying traffic rules is the cool thing to do. The bicycle safety program was a hit! The schools involved distributed a few free helmets to the students during the show, everyone was pleased.

Just a few weeks later Perfection on Wheels received this letter.

We feel confident that our bicycle safety program does make a difference.

Bicycle safety and helmet use is something to be serious about. During our bicycle safety assemblies we cover:

1. How to wear a safety helmet properly. Living the students with memorable tips on how to check it the bicycle helmet is seated properly.

2. Rules of the road. In our program we try to explain the rules of the road in words the students can relate too.

3. 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.

4. Bicycle size is important - In our bicycle safety assemblies, we explain that 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.

5. 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:
