Bike Patrol Tips

We ride together for fresh air and neighborhood patrols. The tips below are how we keep rides safe without sharing any personal info.

Gear Prep

  • Helmets checked before every launch.
  • Lights charged bright so we’re easy to see.
  • Mini repair kit in the saddle bag: pump, patches, and a snack.

Squad Formation

  • Adults on the outside, kids in the center lane.
  • Clear callouts for turns and stops.
  • Regroup every two blocks to keep everyone together.

Route Intel

We pick parks, wide bike lanes, and calm streets. Golden hour is our favorite time to roll.

Motivation Hacks

Make a game out of it: scavenger hunts, mailbox counts, or finding the best porch light. Popsicles at home base seal the deal.

Safety, Our Super Shield

Hand signals practiced in the driveway and a hard rule: feet down at every stop sign.
