Bike Safety!

Today BIGFOOT Adventures came over and taught us some bike skills. We checked our helmets to see if they were A okay because if they were loose they would fall off. We had to bring our bikes but if your one was broken then you could borrow one of theirs as you can see in the photo i'm wearing a BIGFOOT bike and helmet. I learned that you should wear covered shoes when biking so your feet don't get caught in the spokes.
