Locks
If you plan to leave your bike anywhere that won’t be attended it is always a good idea to lock it up! Schools will have a safe place for their students to lock up their bikes while they are inside learning. Locks come in many different shapes and sizes, pick the one that fits your riding and security needs!
Helmets
As with any time you or your child is riding a bike, it’s very important to ride with a helmet. Take this opportunity to make sure your helmet fits and to ensure the helmet is still able to do it's job. Don't know where to start? Stop in to one of our stores or check out our "Helmet Buying Guide" below.
Lights
One of the biggest safety precautions, besides a helmet, is ensuring you are seen on the road. Outfit your bike with front and rear lights. It's best to have running lights day and night to ensure cars and other riders can see you.
