Bike Safety Blog Post T4 2018

What are the three things that Constable Ken Taught about where we can ride our bikes? (think -
place and time)

1. One thing he said was that you should ride on the side of the road about half a metre away from the
curb and that you should ride in the daytime.

2. Another thing he said was that it's not the best to ride at night but if you do wear a high vision vest
and have lights on your bike and helmet.

3. The last thing he said was that you can ride your bike anytime throughout the day but it is safer to do \
it in the daytime and you should be riding on the road close to the curb.

Name three important things Constable Ken taught us about how to ride our bikes? (think - eyes and head)

1. One thing he said was that you have to scan. That means check your surroundings and keep doing

           it.

2. Another thing he said was that when you are almost ready to start do a right shoulder check.

           That means you need to look over your right shoulder to make sure nothing is coming behind             you.

3. The last thing he taught us was how to use our hand signals eg when we turned we had to count to

          three with our hand out in which ever way we were turning then we would turn that way.

Describe the three bike signals that Constable Ken taught us.

1. Turn left - when you turn left and put your hand out straight but to the side.

2. Stop signal - when you put your hand up. (Like you are going to high five someone)

3. Turn right - when you turn right and put your hand out straight but to the side.

What did you enjoy the most about your Cycle Safe lesson? Why?

I enjoyed riding around the grass because we got to try everything we learnt.
