Bicycle motocross (BMX), road bikes and mountain bikes, bike hikes—there are all kinds of bicycles and things to do with them today. Boys and girls and grown-ups, too, are riding bikes more and more.
Bicycling is fun, it’s good for you, and it’s interesting. But bicycling can be dangerous if you are not careful. Be sure you know the safety rules for bicycling, and be sure you and your family always keep your bikes in good shape.
