J & R Sequ

Just for local pony club and 4h fair type showing. What is the typical helmet for young riders. Velveteen is more english isn't it? The shiny bicycle helmet looking ones don't look like they are for shows at all.
I know I see little boys with just a cowboy hat alot but I really want to be safer than that.

Answer

How can you legally travel on a 50cc scooter with a toddler?

jeff_rulz_

It is legal in Missouri to drive without a license or helmet on a 50cc scooter and I would like to purchase one to cruise around town. However, I am concerned about how much I would use it. I would use it more frequently if I could legally carry my 3 year old with me. Just curious if it's legal and what I should get to protect him (other than a bicycle helmet).

Thanks!

Answer
A bicycle helmet will do NO good.
3 years simply isn't big enough.

I'm all for kids riding, my son sat behind me at 6. There are minimum requirements, even if not written into law (they are law elsewhere): Dedicated seat for passenger, dedicated footrest for passenger (which they must be able to use), handhold(s) for passenger. Helmet - and a styrofoam cooler is for beer, not pavement.
The passenger must be large enough (and understand enough) to be able to hold on. The helmet must fit properly - good luck finding a hat for the little melon.

I added an extra set of pegs for Jr. The law said he must reach, did not specify must be in original location.

Bicycle laws in Georgia: Is it legal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk?

Petal

as opposed to riding in the street or the bike lane? I really don't trust drivers, and I would prefer not to ride on the road, but on the sidewalk. I just got a new bike...haven't had one for 30 years.

Answer

No, a bicycle is a vehicle, and is to be ridden on the road. You must plan you rides to include riding on quieter streets that parallel the main drags that frighten you. As your handling skills and confidence improves, you will become much less fearful of the shared riding.

Ride with other experienced riders whenever possible. Hitch on the back of a group as you can. There is strength in numbers, you will learn a lot of skills, meet new friends, and can ask cycling questions.
You will get beyond this ,,,, really.

Don't forget to wear your helmet.... I know Georgia is an adult option helmet state. It is like not putting on your seat belt when you get in a car!
