Nowadays, many parents will take their children to participate in some outdoor activities, such as letting their children ride a bicycle. There are many benefits to riding a bike, which can exercise, master balance, and improve your flexibility. So, to prevent the above cycling accidents, what should children pay attention to?
1. Pay attention to safety. Learning to ride a bike can be dangerous, so keeping safety in mind is the most important thing. Parents should pay special attention to children not learning to ride on the road, and should practice bicycles in the park, yard or in children's playground. Be sure to take safety protection, such as wearing a helmet and protective gear. And adults must be by their children's side and do not leave. Let the children ride a bicycle alone. Only children who are over 12 years old and familiar with riding a bicycle can go on the road alone. When riding a bicycle, they should not let go of their hands, and the back seat must not be carried by people. Traffic rules must be followed and follow them at close range are prohibited. Don’t be distracted when riding a bike, don’t wear headphones and listen to music. Girls should not wear skirts when practicing bikes, so as not to avoid being carried up by the wind and getting caught in the wheels.
2. Children need to use the cooperation of wrist bones and muscles when riding a child’s bike. Because children's wrist bones are mostly composed of soft tissues and are relatively soft and easy to fold. Most wrist bones gradually become ossified after the age of three, the single ossification process is slower, and the wrist muscles develop later, wrist injuries should be avoided as much as possible.
3. Children's pelvis is immature. When learning to ride a bicycle, they should use a softer and more empty field to avoid transposition of the bones that make up hip bones and , which will affect healing. Especially for girls, more protection should be added to avoid affecting their development. Never learn to drive on the road. The cycling venue should also be kept clean to prevent the child from causing trouble due to discomfort in the venue.
4. The child is not mature enough, his movement coordination is not high, and he responds to accidents slowly. Therefore, parents should check whether the car is damaged frequently and keep it clean, deal with it in time to ensure safety. Adults should take good care of their children during their bike ride to avoid negligence and accidents.
5. Master cycling skills. When a child has just learned to ride a bicycle, he must study hard, and parents must also take teaching seriously. Don't use too much force when riding a bike. Adjust the height angle of the car seat to adapt to the child, with appropriate height and a straight seat to avoid spinal deformity. If the seat is too hard, you can use foam plastic to make a soft seat cover to cover the seat to reduce the friction of the seat to the lower part. If you ride for a long time, you should pay attention to changing your riding posture so that your body's center of gravity can move. When riding variable speed car for the first time, the speed should not be too fast, the event should not be too long, and the speed should be accelerated and overtime after the body adapts.
6. Parents should pay attention that when learning to drive by their children, they should teach their children the correct way, specify the time for their children to practice driving, and do not let their children overwork. If you find discomfort, you should find out the cause in time. If there is any problem with the seat, it should be eliminated or improved in time. If the child’s discomfort is eliminated, he/she should be sent to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Proper and scientific cycling can exercise the child's body and promote skeletal muscle development. But the prerequisite for children to ride a bicycle is to ensure safety. Parents should pay special attention to checking whether the car is damaged before getting on the car. Take good care of the child and do not let him get injured while riding, so as to avoid accidents and affect development and growth.
