Bicycle Helmet Law:      Pennsylvania law requires all children under under 12 years of age to wear an approved bicycle helmet, meeting ANSI, SNELL,  ASTM or any other nationally recognized certification when operating or riding as a passenger on a pedal cycle or in a trailer towed by a pedal cycle.
	Traffic Signs:     Obey all Traffic Signs and Signals. Always look left, then right, then left again before entering the roadway and at all intersections. Use hand signals to communicate your intentions
	Be Predictable:     Drive with traffic on the right side of the road. Ride in a straight line whenever possible and ride with traffic. Keep to the right, but stay about a car doors length away from parked cars.
	How to Fit a Bike:     Lay your arm along the top bar with the elbow touching the seat. The finger tips should just reach the handlebars. Straddle the bike, there should  be about one inch between the top bar and your crotch. Adjust the seat so you can sit on the seat and balance on your toes.
	Be Seen:     Equip your bike with reflectors, a white headlight, and a bell or horn. Bright colored clothing and reflective material help bicyclist to be seen more easily.
