Lot’s of children have been riding to school which is fantastic. This advice has been taken from the NSW Department of education website.

Riding advice for parents and carers

Until children are at least 10 years old they should ride away from vehicles and driveways. As they are learning to ride it is important to ride or walk alongside them and talk about how to be a safer bicycle rider.

Children between 10 years old and 12 years old should ride away from busy roads. Accompany your children when they are riding a bike until they are at least 10 years old. Ride or walk alongside them and talk about how to be a safe bicycle rider.

Children between 10 and 12 should ride away from busy roads.

Helmets are also a legal requirement for all children.
