Tips from San Diego Bike Coalition Will your kids be biking to school this year? It’s important to teach them biking basics (such as ride in single file on the right side of the road, obey all traffic laws and signs, always wear a helmet), important safety guidelines (correct helmet fit, bike safety checks and proper hand signals) and practice before school starts (teach proper road position, turning, intersections, hazards, etc.). To learn more or sign up for a workshop, visit www.sdbikecoalition .org. Information also available in Spanish.
