Morrow County predicts
" A ll too often, children

and overlook simple safety precau
lions I would like to ask all school
children who ride their bicycles to
remember a few safety rules
Only one person belongs on your
bike Never let a second person ride
with you
Allow plenty o f room for a sate
slop Never follow bikes or cars too
c losclv
Always give proper signals
keep a firm grip on the handle bars
with your right hand and use your
left arm and hand to signal turns and
stojis Arm straight out is a left turn,
arm hent up is a right turn, and arm
bent down at the elbow is a stop
Avoid riding your bike at night
If you must ride at night, equip your
bike with a good headlight and rear
reflectors Wear light colored or
reflective clothing so others can see
you casilv
Make sure you obey all traffic
