Many teenagers these days don’t use buses and trains to get around. Instead, teenagers choose bikes, skateboards, scooters and even rollerblades to travel to their destination. In the past, teenagers only used these things to play in the park or in sports competitions, but now it ' s a new craze to use them as a means of transport. These are the good forms of exercise, but accidents can happen, so you must pay attention to a few rules of the road. First, you must always use proper safety equipment such as knee and elbow pads, helmets. When possible, try to stay on the pavement and ride slowly. Also, never wear headphones, don ' t ride too close to parked cars and always get off skateboards, bikes or scooters and walk at pedestrian crossings. Finally, you must never use a moving vehicle to pull you along! Skateboarding, rollerblading or other activities are good ways to exercise and a lot of fun. Just remember to pay attention and stay safe when they are out and about!
