Any suggestions on this checklist I made up for kids. I used it last year. I
go over each of these items with older kinds.  For younger kids I just tell
them to always wear a helmet, never ride in the street, and do what their
parents tell them.  I ask them to go over the list with their parents.  I
have graphics on the handout.  I will update it based on your comments and
send out a version with the graphics so anybody can use it.
Thanks
