Riding a bike is a marvelous experience for each and every kid [url=http://www.nhlcanucksteamshop.com/adidas+daniel+sedin+canucks+jersey]Daniel Sedin Adidas Jersey[/url] , offering up entertainment, independence and fitness. It grows a kid’s self-confidence and feeling of accomplishment. Like most activities with this kind of wonderful reward, there is also the chance of injury. Giving your child an understanding of the basics of bike safety is an essential step in mastering the skill of riding a bike.

Helmets Save Lives

Head injuries account for more than 60% of all bicycle related deaths involving young cyclists. Usually, youngsters detest donning a helmet. To persuade use [url=http://www.nhlcanucksteamshop.com/adidas+brock+boeser+canucks+jersey]Brock Boeser Adidas Jersey[/url] , let them find their own helmet and remind them the reason they have to put it on is because you’d never ever want anything harmful to occur. No helmet, no bike. End of story.

Stay Alert

For kids ten and under, nearly all cycling mishaps are caused through some loss of concentration or lapse in judgment. Young children hurt themselves riding into standing objects like cars in driverways or on the street or street signs. They collide into other kids or ride off the curb. Make it clear to your youngster that being alert is just as important as wearing their helmet. Let them know you are proud of their ability to make smart decisions and ask them to be a leader when they are riding with friends.

As you grant new freedom for your child to roam on their bike, sit down and discuss the new zones they will be permitted to ride. Indicate hazard spots; parked cars that prevent clear paths of vision [url=http://www.nhlcanucksteamshop.com/adidas+bo+horvat+canucks+jersey]Authentic Bo Horvat Jersey[/url] , busy traffic spots, large hills and ensure they understand exactly how they will cope with each problem.

Obey the Traffic Rules

For nearly all grown ups, recognizing and responding to traffic signs and regulations is 2nd nature, however we sometimes forget that youngsters have yet to take driver’s education classes. Show your children the right direction to ride (with traffic) [url=http://www.nhlcanucksteamshop.com/adidas+henrik+sedin+canucks+jersey]Authentic Henrik Sedin Jersey[/url] , how to handle a 4-way stop and other intersections as well as the significance of the traffic signs in their own bike riding area.

While driving along with your boy or girl in a car, check to see if they can explain the traffic signs and talk regarding what they would do if they were on their bicycle instead of in the car. Point out examples of motorists that are not paying sufficient attention and use that to call attention to the importance of keeping alert.

Learn the Right Way From the Start

Learning to ride a bicycle is really about one necessary skill – balance. Countless experts suggest the approach that will not require training wheels. This has been the process within Europe for quite some time where many kids learn to ride using a balance bike which has no pedals, chain or sprockets and works under the child’s “foot” power.
When teaching your own child to ride, stress balance [url=http://www.nhlcanucksteamshop.com/adidas+daniel+sedin+canucks+jersey]Authentic Daniel Sedin Jersey[/url] , not pedaling. If you do not have a balance bike, take off the pedals, lower the seat as low as it will go and permit the child to try out their sense of balance by walking the bike.

As they start to master their balance, move them to the top of a small hill and let them coast down [url=http://www.nhlcanucksteamshop.com/adidas+brock+boeser+canucks+jersey]Authentic Brock Boeser Jersey[/url] , dragging their feet on the ground as they go. This can hasten the learning process and help the health of your back because you won’t be the person constantly pushing the bicycle around the neighborhood.

Bike Equipment Maintenance

It’s important to make sure that your son or daughter’s bike is always in excellent, working condition. Pay close attention the brakes, both front and back. These can degrade quickly when used frequently and children have a way of improvising stops when they do. This might lead to a rapid deterioration of footwear as they become the primary braking mechanism.

Check the tire pressure and rotation. Make sure all the spokes are intact and the gears and gear shifters are working. Check the seat, handlebars and tires to make sure nothing is loose.

Share the Ride

Riding together is the perfect way to practice bike safety and its a lot of fun. So get out and ride!

BERLIN [url=http://www.nhlcanucksteamshop.com/adidas+bo+horvat+canucks+jersey]Bo Horvat Jersey[/url] , Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- Bayern Munich and German national team defender Jerome Boateng talked in a recent interview with Xinhua of his personal and his teams' ambitions this year.

In the interview, he also talked about the World Cup, Bayern Munich's China Tour as well as his passion for shoes and music. So you will see a colorful Boateng.

Xinhua: Mr. Boateng, you are dressed in a traditional Bavarian outfit [url=http://www.nhlcanucksteamshop.com/adidas+henrik+sedin+canucks+jersey]Henrik Sedin Jersey[/url] , with nice "lederhosen". Is that you what you wear on the way back home from work? We expected you to turn up in a baseball cap and some stylish rapper gear as you are a big fan of RnB and rap music.

Boateng: (Laughing) What did you expect? We Bavarians go to bed in "lederhosen". But honestly we just had a photo shooting with a sponsor - so we wore lederhosen and it's fun - but you are right, it is not what I usually wear.

Xinhua: So now you go home to change and put the lederhosen in the back part of your wardrobe?

Boateng: No, we need it again when we visit the Octoberfest, an outfit like that is just as important for Munich as the FC Bayern is. A lot of young people wear lederhosen in Bavaria - it is getting more and more popular.

Xinhua: Talking about young people: You have got two brothers that are [url=http://www.nhlcanucksteamshop.com/adidas+daniel+sedin+canucks+jersey]Daniel Sedin Jersey[/url] , let's say, colorful characters. You are rather quiet. What went wrong?

Boateng: (Laughing). Went wrong? Many brothers are different. Isn't that a pattern of nature among brothers? Despite our different characters we have a lot in common and the same interests. And you know what? I'm not always the quiet one, with friends and my family I can be like my brothers.

Xinhua: Good to know that as you are one of the leading figures in your team, you can't be too quiet as a leader of a team? And after Bastian Schweinsteiger left for Manches.
