This is from Walgreens’ site, and contains a lot of excellent information. I’ll probably post a few of these.

SUN PROTECTION

• When outside on a warm, sunny day, protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat, a water-proof sunscreen, and loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.
• Sun protection is especially important between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
• Drink plenty of water, but avoid drinking alcohol on hot, humid days when you are outside. Alcohol can cause dehydration.
• If you become overheated, sit in the shade, drink plenty of water, and try to keep your skin cool and moist.
• Keep very young children’s skin from being exposed to the sun.
• Never leave children or pets unattended in a car in the sun — even for a few minutes.
• Wear appropriate sunscreens — a sunscreen rating of 15 should give adequate protection for most people.
• Remember, there is no such thing as a healthy suntan.

BICYCLE SAFETY

• Wear a bike helmet.
• Make sure bikes are the right size. A child should be able to straddle a bike with both feet on the ground.
• Young children should use bikes with coaster brakes — the kind that brake when you pedal backwards. With hand brakes, a child’s hands should be large enough and strong enough to use the levers.
• Avoid riding at night if at all possible. Make sure your bike has reflectors.
• Stop at stop signs, check for traffic before turning, and never ride out into a street without stopping first.
• Ride on the same side of the road as the cars.
• Be predictable and ride defensively. Ride where drivers of cars can see you. Bicycles are frequently hit by cars because the driver did not even know the bike was there. Many accidents have been avoided because the biker was watching out for cars.
• Wear brightly colored clothing so that motorists can easily see you.
