Cycling safety - choosing a bike and helmet

Description

In this clip, the presenter goes to buy a bike for an up and coming race. A bike shop assistant guides him through various styles suited to different terrains. She stresses the importance of always wearing a cycle helmet and helps him choose an appropriate one, along with protective and high visibility clothing.

Classroom Ideas

Students could be asked to draw a picture of themselves riding on a bike. Alternatively, they could be given an outline of someone cycling. Students could add the necessary safety equipment such as a helmet, and appropriate clothing as shown in the clip. Students could discuss other things that should be added, such as lights. They could then label their drawing with all of the important safety information.
