National Safety Month 2026
Safety Starts Before the Ride
During National Safety Month 2026, Know Your Ride used the broader safety observance to highlight youth bike and e-bike safety and connect the month’s prevention mindset with practical rider education.
How Know Your Ride engaged
- Used National Safety Month as a moment to highlight youth bike and e-bike safety
- Connected the month’s safety focus to practical rider education
- Shared a youth-centered perspective on prevention and responsibility
- Amplified simple safety habits that help prevent confusion from turning into risk
Know Your Ride sees a natural connection between safety culture and rider readiness. As more students begin riding bikes and e-bikes independently, the ability to understand what they are riding, check basic safety features, wear a helmet correctly, ride predictably, and handle battery safety becomes part of real-world responsibility.
National Safety Month provided a meaningful opportunity to frame these habits not just as reminders, but as everyday prevention skills. When young riders build these habits early, families and communities can help reduce confusion and support safer choices before risk turns into harm.
Safe riding habits are not built in a single reminder. They grow through clear guidance, repetition, and responsible choices.
Five safety habits every young rider should practice

Understand what type of bike or e-bike you are riding.
Check Before You Ride
Check brakes, tires, lights, and controls before each ride.
