Kids on Wheels Safety Kit

ORDER NOW Mail Order Form View: Pricing/Purchase Information	Biking, skate boarding, and in-line skating are really cool sports and super fun to do. You'll like them even more when you learn everything you can about the sport, your equipment, and personal safety. Always choose equipment that's the right size and that matches your skill level. Be sure to wear a helmet (pick out the coolest one you can find); it is a must for all three sports, and in some states, it's the law. Before you "hit the road," have a good time learning all about your wheels and the rules of the road. Then, get ready to roll for the time of your life! Signed Scruff^Ž

The McGruff^Ž Safety Kit "Kids on Wheels" includes: Tips on purchasing bikes, skate boards, in-line skates, and helmets Wheels safety tips Rules of the road Wheels safety word search, math message, skating slang, and skateboard lingo Steps to building your own practice course

	Wheels Safety Tips: Always wear a helmet Wear light colored clothing so you can be seen Always ride with a friend Be sensible, never show off Watch for potholes, sewer gratings, cracks, railroad tracks, loose gravel, broken glass...anything that might cause you to spill Leave earphones at home Carry enough money or a telephone calling card to make a phone call or dial 9-1-1 in an emergency Tell someone where you are going and when you will be back When approaching an intersection, stay back and out of the way of a car that might be turning

Wear close-fitting clothing that will not get caught in the bike's moving parts Ride with traffic, close to the curb Ride in single file Use hand signals when turning or stopping Walk your bike across streets at the street corner Keep your hands on the handlebars Don't give rides on your handlebars Register your bike with the local police Write down your license number, serial number, type, and model of the bike and keep the information in a safe place Always lock your bike when you leave it; a u-shaped lock is best or use a strong chain and padlock to secure the frame to something solid like a bike rack or tree Park your bike where it can easily be seen

Wear wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads Skate on the right side of paths, trails, and sidewalks Pass pedestrians, cyclists, and other skaters on the left and call out a warning to let them know you're there Learn the basics before heading for bigger and better trails

Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, rubber-soled or athletic shoes, a helmet, gloves, and knee and elbow pads Choose a safe location like your driveway, a quiet dead-end street, school yard, or playground Carry your board across intersections, instead of riding across

Rules Of The Road Yield to cars and pedestrians Look left, right and left again before crossing the street Obey traffic signs and signals Stay off interstate highways, expressways, or parkways where prohibited by law Never hitch rides on moving cars or trucks
