Bicycle and Traffic Safety

Did you know that nearly one-third of bicyclist killed in traffic crashes were between 5 and 15 years of age. Many of these collisions involved bicyclist error, such as failing to stop or yield at intersections, riding against traffic, riding into the street or diagonally across it without first yielding and scanning for traffic.
In Physical Education and with the help of Character Ed we are teaching the students safe bicycle riding habits that will prevent injuries by equipping the students with skills and knowledge they will use throughout their lives. Between November 1st -19th DCPS will provide us with a trailer full of bikes and helmets. The students will be able to demonstrate the skills learned in PE class.
