The safety of children while bicycling
Date: 2014-08-13 Views: 964
To go biking on the road is the wish of every child. But safety is always the most important thing. Now let me introduce some notes that you should pay attention to.
1. Helmet: Choose a size-fitted helmet for your children. Make sure it won?t fall off to the front or to the side while your children?s head move. Let him/her try it on to before you buy it. You can pay for it if you can put one finger between your child?s chin and the belt.
2. Age: The golden year of learning how to bike is around 4 to 6. For him/her safty, you can put aided wheel on the bicycle.
3. Road: If the children still can not control the bicycle freely when he/she is 10 year?s old, do not take him/her to the mountain slope or the road of heavy traffic.
4. Checking: Check the bicycle handle bar and bottom bracket every month and check whether it makes strange noise.
What you should know:
1. Children?s cartilage is still growing, quite soft and easy to twist. So you need to adjust the height of seat to where suit them most, and teach them the right posture of riding in case of twisting their backbones.
2. Biking is a sport which need the cooperation of both bones and muscle on the wrist. But children?s wrist bones are mostly made of soft tissue which is very easy to be fractured. So it?s very inportant to protect the wrist when he/she is on the bicycle.
3. Children?s pelvis is still immature, so they should pay more attention to how to get on or off the bicycle. And you?d better take them to the softer place to ride. Much more attention should be paid to the girls.
