On the Bike: How to Keep Young Cyclists Safe 
It can be easy for children—and even parents—to see their bicycle as a toy. The reality is that bikes are not toys. In fact, more children ages 5 to 14 go to hospital emergency rooms for injuries associated with bicycles than with any other sport.

In this chapter, I’ve put together a list of tips to help parents make sure that their children ride safely.
