Yesterday, our ATV Ride Safe Program spent the day at the Ada Library teaching youth about safe ATV operation. Participants learned important safety practices, including proper riding techniques, the importance of protective gear, and how to make responsible decisions while operating these machines.

Last Friday, our Bike and Pedestrian Safety Program team visited Pauls Valley’s Xtreme Summer Fun Camp. We presented our updated interactive bike and pedestrian safety course to students in 2nd through 6th grade and shared our Clifford books with PreK through 1st grade students. All students also had the opportunity to participate in a mini bike rodeo, where they practiced important biking skills. It was a great opportunity to promote safe walking and biking habits while engaging students through hands-on activities.

The manufacturer, Schylling, says microwaving, heating or freezing NeeDoh products is dangerous and can cause injury. “The material inside heats up very fast and it can blow up,” said Dr. Ryan Brown at Oklahoma Children’s OU Health. “It can explode in the microwave or once you get it out it can burn your hands or explode into your face.”

🚨 ATV Safety Starts With Where You Ride 🚨

Before you hit the throttle, make sure you’re choosing a safe place to ride your ATV. The terrain you pick can make all the difference in preventing crashes and injuries.
✅ Ride in designated ATV areas — Trails and parks are designed for your safety and skill level
✅ Avoid paved roads — ATVs aren’t built for road use and crashes can be severe
✅ Check the terrain — Watch for steep slopes, loose gravel, mud, or hidden obstacles
✅ Stay on approved trails — Respect landowners and reduce the risk of getting lost or hurt
✅ Ride within your limits — Choose areas that match your experience level
🌲 Safe riding = more fun, fewer risks.
Choose your terrain wisely and make every ride a smart ride.
