Bike Safety Program with Big foot!


Yesterday, Our class had out turn to do biking with the Big Foot Program. Before we had to start riding the bikes, we had to learn a few rules, about how to check your helmet. And to check your helmet, you have to check if their is cracks, you can do that by, putting two of your thumbs, on each side of the helmet, and just pull your hardest, ( well not that hard ), and you might see cracks, on your helmet, and even though there is small cracks, it is rubbish, and it is for your own safety of your head. Once you put your helmet on, two fingers above your eyebrows, to the bottom of your helmet. Once you've done that 4 fingers to make a V-shape around the bottom of your ears, also make sure not to show the Y-shape. Make a V-shape, using the strap's on the helmet, and to pull it down so that the helmet could fit under your chin. Last step is to put 1 finger under the strap beneath your chin, so that you can breath easily, and so it's not to tight, and then just take a bow to check if your helmet isn't loose.

Also before you hop on your bike, you must check these 4 things.
1. Check if both of your brakes work.
2. Check if your Tyre is pumped, not flat.
3. Check if your Release leavers, are tight.
4. And make sure that your red light reflector, is on your bike.

Yesterday, we learnt  lots of stuff, of how to be safe if you are on the road. And that we also got to go ride around May road Park. And that we had to, use our hand signal, if we were, turning or stopping. We all had a turn to lead, and when it was my turn, I got confused where to go.
And it was a Fun and hot day out, Biking with the Big Foot Program!
