Always wear a helmet. If you are so good that you can do tricks, do as many as you can because it will help you do better and eventually you'd become a pro. Always ride your bike on the sidewalk, unless you're 11. Always look out for cars or trains and if you're riding your bike in an airport street because you can get carsick, watch out for giant airplane tires. (Mom's note: I totally disavow the utter randomness of that last sentence) Ring your bell to alert people that you are there, so you don't get hit. Use proper hand signals to show other people which way you are turning and always look stop at corners and look both ways before you go across a street.
2. Demonstrate how to wear the proper safety equipment for bicycling.
If you are going to be riding your bike around your neighborhood, you need to wear a helmet. If you are going to be doing stunts like 360's, you need to also wear kneepads and elbow pads.
3. Show how to ride a bike safely. Ride for at least half an hour with an adult partner, your family, or den.
