On August 12, a video of an 11-year-old boy who fell down while riding with his father and was run over by a car in the opposite lane went viral online, attracting attention. On August 13, according to China Newsweek, the Health and Family Planning Bureau of Rongcheng County, Hebei Province, where the incident occurred, confirmed with the hospital that the boy had died after failed rescue efforts.

This heartbreaking accident, with its bloody lesson, has once again put the issue of cycling safety before the public.

In addition to being a daily commuting method, cycling is also a favorite fitness and leisure activity for many people. The above accident video shows that there was a cycling team passing by the scene at the time of the accident, and the parents and children were also in the cycling team. Regardless of the purpose of taking children to ride, parents must pay attention to traffic safety and abide by cycling regulations.

Our country's laws stipulate that children under the age of 12 are not allowed to ride bicycles on the road. Some children are naturally active and master the skills of riding a bicycle at a very young age, but this does not mean that their physical and mental development has reached the level of safe riding on the road. The age requirements for riding bicycles on the road set by the law have undoubtedly been strictly verified, and parents cannot turn a blind eye.
