Is it suitable for children to ride on the road?

From a legal perspective, Article 72 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that drivers of bicycles, tricycles, electric bicycles, and motorized wheelchairs for the disabled on the road must comply with the following regulations: drivers of bicycles and tricycles must be at least 12 years old ; drivers of electric bicycles and motorized wheelchairs for the disabled must be at least 16 years old.

Considering the specific situation of the child and the local road traffic conditions, it may not be safe for the child to go on the road even if he is over 12 years old . On the one hand, young children are immature in risk assessment and emotional control. On the other hand, children are often relatively short. If they ride a baby carriage, they are too small to attract the driver's attention. When riding a large car or even a shared bicycle, they can only ride with difficulty. In the event of an emergency, they are more likely to lose control and cause risks. Therefore, parents should consider the risks carefully and make reasonable arrangements.

What should you pay attention to during daily riding?

Choose a suitable place to ride:

When riding a bicycle, you should choose a square or park with a bicycle path ; when riding on the street, be sure to use the bicycle lane and it is strictly forbidden to ride in traffic; avoid riding in a crowd . If a pedestrian is hit by a bicycle, especially if the head is injured, he or she may face fatal risks.

Abide by rules and follow order:

When riding a non-motorized vehicle on the road, you must use the non-motorized vehicle lane ; if there is no non-motorized vehicle lane on the road, you should drive on the right side of the road. When riding, you must obey traffic signal instructions , stop at red lights and go at green lights. Don't rush or be distracted. Make sure it is safe before driving. Don't run a red light just to save time!

Stay away from vehicle blind spots:

When a large vehicle turns, the movement trajectories of the front and rear wheels do not overlap, presenting a crescent-shaped blind spot. If you are in this area at this time, it is very easy to be knocked down or rolled under the vehicle, resulting in a runover accident.

What preparations should you make before riding?

01 Comprehensive vehicle inspection

Conduct a comprehensive and thorough inspection of all parts of the bicycle to observe whether they are sensitive, reliable and have good performance.

02 Carry your tools with you

When setting off, it is recommended to carry common repair tools such as wrenches, pliers and various spare parts that are easily damaged.

03Full equipment preparation

Helmet: Safety helmet is the last line of defense to protect the life and safety of riders. When an accident occurs, the helmet can absorb most of the impact force and play a protective role of buffering and shock absorption.

Cycling jersey: Brightly colored cycling jerseys can make riders more conspicuous.

Gloves: can prevent slipping and prevent the skin on your palms from being abraded.
