Teach children the importance of wearing a helmet. Wearing a helmet decreases your chance of head injury by 85%. If a head injury occurs without a helmet, brain cells will die. Once brain cells die, they do not grow back. A severe head injury could impair your ability to talk, walk, speak, etc. Wearing a helmet is a law in several other states. 2. Teach children the rules of the course: a. There are six stations that they must go through before passing. This is station one. Each station has specific bike safety rules to learn. Children do not have to go through stations in numerical order. They may skip around to other stations at different times as long as they complete all six. b. Each station has traffic signs. Each child must always follow traffic signs when seen. 3. Discuss with the children the different traffic signs and their meaning (ex. Yield, stop, RR crossing, pedestrian crossing, right turn only, etc.) 4. Teach children hand signals (ex. Right turn, left turn, stop, slow down, etc.) SAFE KIDS Clark County Coalition RETURN TO BIKE RODEO PROTOCOL All students riding bicycles to and from school must: 1. Be in grades 3 or above. For their protection, children grades K-2 are not allowed to ride to school, since most are not ready to ride unsupervised in traffic. 2. Have a signed Bicycle Safety Agreement on file in the office. 3. Walk the bike on school grounds. 4. Keep the bike locked in the school bike rack during school hours. 5. Follow these safety rules: • Always wear a bicycle helmet while riding. Keep the strap fastened and the helmet forward over the forehead (about 1 inch above the eyebrows). • Ride with traffic, in single file. Keep as far to the right as possible. • Obey all traffic laws just like a car. Stop at all stop signs and red lights. • Look both ways before riding out of driveways or entering intersections. • Look over your shoulder and give a hand signal before changing lanes or turning. • Only one person may ride on a bike at a time. • If you are riding in the dark, use a headlight, rear reflectors, side reflectors, and bright colored clothing. ƒ Walk bike across crosswalk at busy intersections. (Detach and return to office) Bicycle Safety Agreement My parent(s) and I have read and understand all the bicycle rules. I will follow the rules and ride safely at all times. I understand that if I do not follow all the rules, my privilege of riding to school may be suspended. Student’s Signature Date I have reviewed the bicycle safety rules with my child. I give my permission for my child to ride a bicycle to and from school. I agree to reinforce bicycle safety rules at home and require my child to wear a helmet every time she/he rides.

If you have a group of kids starting at the same time, instruct the kids to line up behind each other in groups of three. After you give them the following instructions, they will be pulling out of their driveway and entering into the roadway. The student on the left hand column will turn left out to the driveway, the student on the right column will turn right out of the driveway and the center column will cross the road and continue straight. If you have just one child starting at a time, choose which way to direct them. 2. Tell the students that you are the “Mayor” of Safetyville, and that Safetyville is a place where bikes get to take over the road. Since bicycles and cars are both vehicles, bikes need to follow all the rules of the road. Students will get a ticket or time out (placed into the middle of the route for 1 minute) if they break a rule. 3. Ask kids why it is so important that look left, right and then left again and be sure the road is clear before pulling out of a driveway onto the road. (cars may be approaching, may not be looking out for kids coming out of driveways) 4. Ask kids what they should do if a barrier, like a car or bush, is blocking their exit or turn? (edge up and peek around the barrier, then look left, right, left, etc) 5. Ask kids what they should do when they get to a stop sign or intersection (stop fully at edge, put food down, look left/right/left, and signal if turning, before proceeding). 6. Introduce the concept of “Yield.” It means to surrender of give up your right of way. When you see the Yield sign you let other people go first unless there is no one there. At intersections you yield to pedestrians and the other riders who were there first. 7. Explain that pedestrians have the right of way (right to go first) at intersections, and that pedestrians may be crossing in the marked crosswalk areas. 8. Explain that on the course, the kids should be demonstrating appropriate stopping procedures, hand signals and yielding practices. They should also practice looking left, right and left before proceeding through the intersections. 9. Teach and/or review hand signals with kids 10. Tell kids that they can get a ticket/time out for speeding and passing. Volunteers: • Course Leader • 2 Course Monitor(s) - at intersections to reinforce the use of hand signals and looking left, right and left before proceeding through intersections. Course monitors or children can also occasionally act as pedestrians at cross works to reinforce the idea of pedestrian right of way. TURTLE RACE AND RED LIGHT/GREEN LIGHT Turtle Race Course Objectives: • Practicing control of bike/balance while going slowly, preferably in low gear • Staying in lane • Feathering brakes • Continuous pedaling • Shoulder Check Red Light/Green Light • Power pedal position • Emergency braking/quick stopping Instruction: Stage one: Turtle Race: How Slow Can You Go? 1. Ask the riders if they find it harder to control their bikes at slower speeds. They will most likely agree. Explain that this is a balance exercise, that we want them to practice controlling their bikes at slow speeds. *The objective for kids on scooters is to coast as much as possible, pushing off with their foot the least amount of times. 2. Explain the Power Pedal Concept: Starting from a stop with your pedal up in a 2 o’clock position gives cyclist a strong start. If kids are on scooters, demonstrate what a “scooter step” looks like and contrast it to a strong “power pedal position”. 3. Explain that staying in your lane is the most important thing because you never want to swerve out in front of a car. So as they progress down the turtle course, they will not only be practicing going slow, but also staying in their lane. 4. The last person across the finish line is the winner 5. Try not to put your foot down! 6. Start the riders by saying “Ready, Set, SLOW!” coach the riders, offering positive and encouraging feedback and challenging them to stay in their lanes. Cheer the riders enthusiastically Things to watch out for: If a child is having difficulty going slow without swerving into other lanes, encourage them to put their foot down if they have to. Stage 2: Braking (Red Light/Green Light) Explain that now that we have mastered straight-line riding we will be adding a new challenge. This time they can pick up some speed, but the marshal will be standing at the end of the lanes and will hold up a ”stoplight” There are three circles, red, green and yellow. Review what each color means at a stoplight. As they ride down the lane they must do what the card means. (Slow down for yellow, stop for red or keep going for green.) Teaching Points: o Breaking evenly to keep from going over the bars o Shifting your weight back, over the rear wheel to maintain control Stage 3: Shoulder Check 1. Increase the challenge by looking over your shoulder while riding in a straight line. 2. Model this by riding up the lane and scanning back to the right and the left without swerving. 3. Explain that the natural tendency when we look back is to swerve in the direction we are trying to see. When riding on the street this can put you in the path of traffic. This exercise is easiest if students can take one hand off the handlebars when peering behind them. 4. Riders proceed down the lane one at a time 5. Marshal stands behind the rider and randomly calls out either “check right” or “check left” and holds up one of the big red, yellow or green colored circles which tells to slow, stop, or keep riding. Volunteers: • Course Leader • Extra volunteers can be used as cheerleaders and to help kids move from the end of the race back to the starting point efficiently and safely. Modifications for younger kids: Just do the Turtle Race and power pedal demonstration. C;t-AR.-t­ 9
