Tour de Clairlea

It's great to see so many kids riding their bikes to school. It's a healthy, eco-friendly way to travel. In the last three weeks, I've noticed a couple of kids riding on the wrong side of the road without a helmet! We've talked about bike safety in the class, but it would not hurt to discuss bike safety at home as well. For example, is your child allowed to ride on the street? Several children in our class did not seem to know that cyclists are required to ride on the right side of the road. 

Thank you,

P.S. Here's one of my favourite bands - Kraftwerk with a music video featuring Tour de France cyclists - all wearing helmets. Enjoy.
