Bicycle Safety Camp

First, Senior Writers Sean Thomason and Conor Lastowka showed you how to safely Netscape Navigate the Information Superhighway with Kids Guide to the Internet. Now they’re back to help you survive the regular highway with Bicycle Safety Camp! First tip: reconsider riding your bike on the highway.

Every kid hates it when their parents ruin fun by telling them to wear a bike helmet and follow the rules. It’s been a problem throughout history. But then along came the 90s, with a great 90s solution: have a lame gym coach rap the rules at them instead! The coach assembles a Burger King Kids Club-style rogues' gallery of bike riders and forces them to attend some kind of outdoor detention. There’s Rebop the bad kid and Arthur the bookworm, but the real stars of the show are the competing bike helmet safety regulation commissions, ANSI and Snell. Talk about fun!!!

This day-glo rapping nightmare burned into Conor’s memory in childhood when a friend showed him the VHS, now join him and Sean as they exorcise bike demons in Bicycle Safety Camp! Stay tuned to the end for a corporate sponsor you definitely won’t see coming.
