Bell:	Ring! Ring! Make sure that drivers and other bikers always know that you are sharing the road.
Hand brakes:	These are easy-to-reach brakes to avoid an accident.
Headlights:	They should always been turned on after sunset.
Helmet:	Never forget to wear your helmet when riding your bike—this will keep you safe if you fall.
Seat:	Make sure that your seat is adjusted to the right height, and is securely fastened.
Tail light:	This safety feature is visible from over 600 feet!
Tires:	Try to avoid a flat tire by riding on sidewalks and not in the street.

For safety, only one person should be on a bike at one time (unless an extra seat is installed).
Do not carry any items when riding a bike. At least one hand should be on the handlebars at all times. Instead, install a basket or store your stuff safely in a backpack to leave your hands and arms free.
Every bike should have working brakes.
Every bike needs reflectors and a working headlight when it is dark outside. To be extra safe, wear reflective clothing, too.
