Spring is coming and many of us - parents, think about new bicycle season. After a long winter and New England's weather, it's so good to take our bicycle trailers and hit the road! I don't know about you but I can't wait until that happen. My child too, he loves his bicycle trailer and our family escapes. That kind of activity brings so many benefits to all of us, the whole family. The most important thing is that my kid spends free time actively and learns from the beginning how to be active and fit. It's a great habit to promote!
Please remember about safety tips when taking your kids for a ride in a bicycle trailer:
- Children riding in bicycle trailers must always wear a helmet. Proper use of a bike helmet reduces risk of head injury by as much as 88%. Adults should also always use a helmet for safety and role modeling.
- Use a safety flag, which helps motorists see you.
- Use hand signals before turning left or right.
- Pay attention to bicycle trailer weight limits. For child bike trailers, confirm the minimum height and weight and use any recommended inserts for smaller children.
- Follow all posted road signs – a bicycle is part of traffic.
- When riding at night, attach a light to the front of your bike and reflectors to the rear of the trailer.
- When hauling a pet, always secure them with the safety leash.
- Before riding, check the bicycle's connection to the trailer and be sure the tires are properly inflated.
- Practice riding in a safe area before taking the trailer on the road. When practicing, pay particular attention to breaking distance, which increases with a trailer attached to your bike.
