Tips For Safe

Nearly one million bike riders sustain serious injury or are killed every year Most of them did not follow the “Rules of the Road’’ for safe bike riding “Anyone riding a bicycle should know and obey all the same traffic laws as a motor ist.’’ says Wayne Lindemann, a traffic safety expert at CNA Insurance “Parents can do a lot to help their children learn and use safe bike riding practices," Lindemann comments “For one thing, children learn from observing how do you drive your car or your own bike?" He offers these tips for safe bike riding • Be sure the bike is in good condition Many local police departments provide a free bicycle inspection — often coupled with a safety program and riding skills test. • Make certain the bike and its rider can be seen and heard Reflectors visible from all four sides, a good headlight and a loud bell or horn should be standard on all bikes At night, the rider should wear light colored clothing with re fiective strips on the arms and legs • One of the most danger ous practices is to ride a bike while listening to “earphone" type radios This prevents the bike rider from hearing both auto and pedestrian traffic • Tocks and “daredevil"

Bicycle Riding

iYJU type stunts should be done only by the professionals on bikes that are built specifically for this purpose. A bike can be easily damaged by stunts and result in a serious accident at a later date. • Yield the right-of-way to everyone including pedestrians Even though you must obey all traffic laws, a bike is no match for a car, truck or bus • Contact your local school, police department or bike shop for illustrated bro chures explaining the many safety rules pertaining to bikes “Bicycle riding is popular with all age groups,” Linde mann points out, "and every one who rides a bike, from pre schoolers to grandparents, should be familiar with the safety rules "
