Riding a bike

People normally use their bikes for transportation to get to the place they need to. Others use their bikes for fun.

A bike is a form of transportation. It allows people to get from place to place. It has two wheels, handlebars, breaks, a seat, a chain, lights, a bell and a frame. All these things work together to make your bike move. You use your feet to push the pedals. It makes the wheels move.

You sit on the seat for comfort and use your hands to steer the bike with the handlebars.

You should always make sure your bike isn't broken. If parts of your bike are broken you could get into an accident and injure yourself.

When you're riding a bike you should always have your safety gear on. Things like a helmet, and shoes can keep you safe in an accident. Bright clothes makes it easier for others around you to see you when you are riding on the road. In Summer when it’s hot, you should put on a hat and some sunblock to keep you safe from the sun.

When riding a bike you really need to balance the bike. If you don’t balance your bike, you will fall off and injure yourself. The secret to keep your bike balanced is to keep on practising until you get it right.

I really enjoy riding my bike and I know you will enjoy riding a bike too. Now that you know why a bike is a versatile object, why would you not get one?
