Bike Safety

Cycling is a great way for kids to have fun and keep active. To help kids cycle safely, make sure they:

  • Cycle a bike that suits their height and experience

  • Always wear a safety helmet

  • Use lights in dark or dull conditions

We have a range of kids’ bike safety accessories, including safety helmets for all ages and front and rear bicycle lights.

Helmets

Helmets

We have bike helmets sized for kids of all ages, each one designed to provide enhanced protection. Letting your child pick out their own helmet can help encourage them to cycle safely. Choose from single colours, 3D mohawk designs and bicycle helmets featuring favourite characters, from unicorns to Spider-Man.
