Mistake #3 - Riding without hands can cause serious bicycle accident injuries | Bowling Green, Ohio bicycle accident lawyers

It can be tempting for kids to show off for their friends while riding their bikes. One of the most common mistakes that kids make while bicycling is riding "no-hands," or riding without their hands on the handle bars. This can be very dangerous and can cause a serious bicycle accident injury. 

The Ohio Department of Public Safety agrees. See what they have to say about this dangerous mistake that can cause an Ohio bicycle accident injury:

Some bicyclist think this [riding "no-hands"] shows how skillful they are. Actually, all it really shows is that they can balance on their bikes - something almost everyone can do. 

It also shows that they aren't in control of their bikes and all other road users should watch out for them. Such a childish attitude tells the motorist that the bicyclist hasn't grown up yet. 

Ride with both hands on the handle bars; you'll be ready for emergencies. '
