Join the Movement and Help Your Child Bike to School

Did you know there are many ways you can help make cycling to school safer and easier? Cycling is healthy and fun, but kids need the right skill, gear, and support to stay safe and enjoy it. Be sure to plan your route before heading out! Don’t forget:

• All cyclists should wear a helmet, but the law in Ontario states that riders under 18 must wear a helmet.
• Cyclists under age 16 can ride on the sidewalks.
• Wear bright coloured clothing.
• Lock your bike frame and front wheel to a bike rack or post.
