Suggestions in weather

• Beware of black ice in Spring when days are warm and nights below freezing.
• Consider biking to after school activities with a car pick up at the end.
• Regulars find walking or rolling is a great way to start their day and helps their concentration in school.    Walking & rolling habits formed in elementary continue into later years.
• When wet, knobby texture on mountain bike type tires work better than road bike tires.  We learned the hard way that bald tires are dangerous! Check treads once a season.
• While fenders limit the rain spray, water proof rain pants are very practical.  In case of sudden, unscheduled growth spurts Campmor.com carries rain pants in youth sizes all year.
• We found a ski helmet and goggles are warmer than a bike helmet in winter
