Bicycling can be an enjoyable alternate form of transportation as well as recreation for children and adults, when safety is practiced.  Properly fitting safety helmets are a must for riders of all ages. However, children or adults can be hurt riding a bicycle on or off the road.

Most children who are killed in bike crashes are 7 to 12 years old. The most serious injuries sustained by children while biking are head and brain injuries. These injuries can cause death or lifelong disability.
