Bike Safety

With school holidays just around the corner, it’s the perfect time for children to enjoy riding their bikes, scooters and skateboards. To help keep everyone safe, here are a few important reminders:

Helmets are the law - In NSW, children must wear an approved helmet whenever riding in a public place. Helmets should be properly fitted and securely fastened.

Road safety matters - Even if your child is confident with pedalling, steering and braking, they are not ready to ride near traffic or on the road until they are at least 10 years old.

Choose safe spaces - The safest places to ride are fenced or supervised areas away from cars.
