Bicycle
Safety
for
Children
Program
Need
In
Anne
Arundel
County
we
are
fortunate
to
have
many
parks
and
trails
that
support
an
outdoor
lifestyle
that
includes
bicycling.
Unfortunately,
as
pointed
out
by
the
bicycle
advocacy
group,
Bicycle
Advocates
for
Annapolis
and
Anne
Arundel
County
(Bike
AAA),
there
is
geographic
disparity
when
it
comes
to
where
these
recreational
areas
are
located.
Rural
South
County,
appealing
for
road
cyclists,
has
few
parks
and
trails.
Sharing
the
road
with
vehicles
can
be
challenging.
Bicycle
safety
education
is
important
for
all
who
like
to
ride,
on-road
or
off-road,
and
safety
education
programs
for
children
are
crucial
to
increase
awareness
and
develop
lifelong,
safe
riding
habits
and
skills.
