What safety gear should I purchase for my kid to bike safely?
You should make sure your children have the following bike accessories:
• Well-fitting Helmets
• Lights, Mirrors & Reflectors
• Bells & Horns
• Gloves & Protective Gear including knee pads.
Canadian Tire carries these safety essentials in bright, fun colours and featuring popular characters, including PAW Patrol and Disney's Frozen. Other important bike safety tips for kids are to dress them in fluorescent, highly visible clothing, and ride with them whenever possible.
What do I need to safely cycle as an adult?
Adults need to use the same cycling safety equipment as kids. As with children, adult bicycle helmets should follow the "2v1" rule to ensure a proper fit. Canadian Tire has an assortment of helmets from top brands like Raliegh, Supercycle, and Schwinn. Adult cyclists also need to maintain visibility with reflectors and use bells to alert drivers. Gloves and protective gear are also important, especially for cross-country or competitive cycling.
