National Bike Month is a time to revive your love for bike riding. It is also a time to encourage more kids to take up bike riding and to inform them of the safety rules they must remember. Many kids and adults don't realize that riding a bike can be dangerous. That's why it's a good idea to inform them of the precautions they must take before starting their rides. Many adults also don't realize that it is a great way to stay healthy. Riding your bike to work can help keep you healthy. Whatever your reason for bike riding, you should know and follow the safety rules.
National Bike Month was started in 1956 by the League of American Bicyclists. People all around the country celebrate this month-long holiday. It's a good thing, too, because anyone who rides their bike, whether it be everyday or once a month, needs to know the safety rules. A few of these rules include always wearing a helmet and wearing reflective clothing when riding at night. People can get hurt when they don't follow the rules, which is why Bicycle Safety Month is so important.
Some ways to celebrate National Bike Month is to hand out reflective bracelets, make maps with great routes to follow, and organize a "Bike to work/school" day. However you decide to celebrate, make sure you stay safe.
