I would consider the age and abilities of the child and male sure the correct bike was chosen checking it was in good safe working order.
I would check that the area that was going to be ridden on was and even surface suitable for bike riding and free from obstacles including passing cars and vehicles that might interfere with a safe ride.
I would check the child understood that they could only ride in agreed area where i can observe them at all times.
I would ensure that there was constant supervision of the child throughout the activity, making sure enough staff were available to meet these needs.
That the child has the correct safety equipment (gloves, helmet etc...)
