A Big Don't

Here is a bit of advice which should be as widely spread as possible. Send a copy of it to your local paper: Don't dodge a bicycle rider either male or female. Stand still and the rider will get along all right. Posts, trees, stones, etc., never dodge, and only beginners ever run into them. If you see a “bike" corning straight at you, don't dodge; if you do you will confuse the rider. If you stand still “in the middle of the road.” or wherever you happen to be, the rider will take care to give you plenty of room; but if you go dodging to get out of the way, the chances are there will be a collision and you will be the worst hurt of the two. Therefore, don’t dodge. -Wheel Talk.
