Living a healthy lifestyle is as easy as hopping on a bicycle. But don’t get carried away. More bike accidents with personal injuries requiring emergency room visits happen during the summer months than any other time of year. A few safety tips can help avoid personal injury and a staggering hospital bill.

Once the training wheels are taken off, most youngsters put more energy into learning to ride hands-free, with eyes closed or while standing on the seat, but give little thought to avoiding personal injury. Best practices include: keeping your bike in top-top shape, wearing a bike helmet every time you ride and staying off the road during inclement weather.
For those who have forgotten safe cycling habits (or never learned them in the first place), here’s a refresher course for steering clear of personal injury.
