Port Bicycles to Hold Safety Clinic

Just about everyone knows how to ride a bicycle. And most think they also know everything about bicycle safety. But there are probably some things you don’t know about bike safety that could prevent accidents.  But even the safest bike rider could use a refresher on the fine points of bicycle safety that could held to prevent accidents while riding.

To help keep children and adults as safe as possible while bicycle riding, Port Washington Bicycles is hosting a bicycle clinic. 

The clinic will demonstrate the proper way to wear a helmet, the kind of clothing that should be avoided while riding, ensuring bicycles are in good working order and properly adjusted to the rider, and road safety tips. Brochures detailing these tips will be distributed to all attendees of the bicycle clinic.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own bicycles and helmets to the clinic so the store’s staff can do safety checks on their own equipment. Otherwise, there will be plenty of bikes and helmets on hand for demonstrations.
