PART 1

Teaching Your Child the Rules

138690 Rev2 (10/22)

Appendix A.

Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual

What can you do? Of course, you ought to teach your child not to ride across busy streets - at least

until the child has had some advanced training and is old enough to understand trac. But in the

meantime, for residential street riding, you can teach your child to always look and signal before

turning left. A big part of this lesson is teaching the child how to look to the rear without swerving.

Take your child to a safe area away from trac or obstructions to practice riding along a straight

line while looking behind. Stand alongside and hold up a dierent number of ﬁngers on your hand

after the child rides by. Call his/her name. After 15 minutes of practice, a ten year old should be able

to look behind his/herself and identify how many ﬁngers you are holding up - without swerving.

d. Riding at Dawn, at Dusk or at Night

Most car/bicycle accidents happen at night where an overtaking car hits a bike. (An overtaking car

is one that comes up from behind and passes the cyclist on the left.) These overtaking accidents

can be very serious.

What can you do? First, you should keep your child from riding at dawn, dusk or at night. It requires

special skills and equipment.

Few children have either. Secondly, make sure your child understands that if he/she gets caught out

at dusk or after dark on a bike, the thing to do is to call you for a ride home. One suggestion is to

have your child carry a cell phone, and as an added precaution, tape a phone number to the bike so

that, in an emergency, an adult will be able to call home.

e. Following the Leader

There is increased risk of car/bike collision if children are following each other, because if the ﬁrst

one does something dangerous, those following may do it too.

What can you do? Teach your child to always assess the trac situation for him/herself. When riding

cyclists are riding in a group, each cyclist should stop for stop signs; each cyclist should look to the

rear before making left turns; and so on. One way to get the message across is to play a game with

the child similar to ‘Simon Says’. In this game, however, the emphasis should not be on doing what

‘Simon Says’, but rather have the child make a decision based on the situation. The child should

learn to ignore what ‘Simon Says’. Children need to learn to think for themselves to ride safely.

Summary

Teach your child early - the earlier the better. Learning skills such as looking and avoiding hazards

takes time. Be prepared to repeat lessons until your child understands what you’re trying to get

across. Be patient. Your eorts will be rewarded, knowing that your child is aware of safe riding

skills.
