Bicycle for Teens
Cycling in its early stages results in the physical development of kids including balance and muscle strength. It also examines how exercise improves children’s health, including cardiovascular, motor skills, coordination, weight management, skeletal development, and the immune system.
It helps in overall exercise of the body and also boosts the self-confidence and self-esteem of younger ones as well as improves their academic performance and socializing skills.
Bike riding is a lot of fun, but accidents happen. The safest way to use your bike is to get places, not to play. Every year, lots of kids need to see their doctor or go to the emergency room because of bike injuries.
Bike helmets are so important that the Indian government has created safety rules for them. The helmet should have a sticker that says it meets the rules set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Also its suggested to put the reflective stickers so others can see the rider and bicycle better. Wear bright clothes will make kids more visible on the roads. Also they should make sure that nothing gets caught in the bike chain, such as loose pants, backpack straps or shoelaces. Wearing headphones is prohibited as music can distract them from noises around them.
Avoid them to ride the bike at dusk and later.

Ergonomics Considerations
The constraints that should be considered in bicycle design proposed by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) can be classified into four categories:
Clearance - The bicycle design and dimensions allow the adjustment of the posture and free movement of the limbs.
Reach - The minimum acceptable limits for basic bicycle dimensions that are imposed by the users with the smallest anthropometric dimensions.
Strength - The use of specific components that require a certain amount of force to be applied, like the brakes or the pedal.
Posture Constraints - The angles between the anatomy parts of the cyclist and its relative position on the bicycle.
