The Florida Health Department offered a valuable program focused on bike safety for students at Morningside Elementary. Participants learned the importance of wearing helmets, bright clothing, and appropriate footwear to enhance visibility and protection while cycling. As part of the curriculum, kids practiced essential safety measures, including stopping at stop signs and dismounting their bikes to walk across crosswalks. A key lesson included the critical habit of looking left, right, and then left again before crossing any roadway, reinforcing awareness of their surroundings. Through interactive discussions and practical exercises, this initiative aims to instill lifelong safe biking habits, ensuring that young riders can enjoy cycling while minimizing the risks associated with road use.
