When riding a bike, remember to wear a helmet.  The helmet should be comfortable but snug.  If it rocks when you move your head, then it's too loose.  The helmet should be level and not tilted up or down.  When it's in place, the front of the helmet should be one or two finger widths above your eyebrows.
