Our Community Traffic Safety Program recently conducted bicycle safety lessons during physical education classes at Goodnoe Elementary School of the Council Rock School District.
The basics of proper helmet and bike fit, rules of the road, and correct hand signals to make to drivers and pedestrians were all taught during the lessons.
Students also had the opportunity to showcase the newly learned hand signals on a small safety course that included stop signs, caution signs, and traffic signals.
“Teaching young students about bicycle safety isn’t just about memorizing laws and following rules, it’s about building a foundation of responsibility, confidence, and situational awareness that empowers them to make smart decisions and protects them every time they ride,” explained Community Traffic Safety Program manager Carly Wible. “These are lifelong skills that help keep them safe not only on their bikes, but in every aspect of their lives.”
If your school or daycare would like to schedule similar free programming please contact Carly at carly@bctma.com or 267-895-5186.
