Riding your bike, rollerblading or skate boarding in the street can be dangerous! KUSI's Rick Willis has some tips to stay safe when outdoors.

Take advantage of the city's great bike trails and skate parks. But don't forget to wear helmets, knee and elbow pads.

Protecting yourself can mean the difference between a fun trip to the park and a trip to the doctor!

When you're heading outside to play, make sure to let somebody know where you are going, when you're coming home, and what path you plan on taking.

Knowing where you are at all times is one way for your parents to make sure you're safe, and wearing your gear is a way to help yourself.
