PLAY IT SAFE WITH YOUR BICYCLE

Rules for the road are
same for bikes, cars

MANY CYCLISTS today also
drive and would never consider
disobeying the rules of the road or
getting into an unsafe car.

The Bicycle Association of B.C.
(BABC) is reminding the public
that a bicycle is a vehicle and as a
vehicle operator, it is the cyclist’s
responsibdility to abide by traffic
regulations and to keep the bicycle
in good working order.

Here are some tips offered by
the BABC te keep you safe on the
road:

e RIDE A BICYCLE THAT
FITS — if your bicycle is too
large, or your saddle too high, or
your handlebars are in the wrong
Position, you will have poor con-
trol over your bicycle.

Also, it will not be very comfor-
table and you will not enjoy riding
it very much. If you are not sure of
what adjustments you should

* make, go to the bike shop where

you purchased your bicycle and
have them assist you.

© BE VISIBLE -~ the more visi-
ble you are, the better. Wear
bright colors, white is best after
dark, and yellow or orange during
daylight hours. Wear clothing
which fits comfortably.

It helps to wear reflective mate-
rials, and a helmet will also make
you more visible. You also need
lights and reflectors for riding

after dark. Be prepared for this at’

all times; you never know when
you will be delayed.
®*WATCH FOR ROAD

HAZARDS — contrary to popular -

a

opinion, your biggest danger on
the road is not other vehicles but
rocks, potholes, sewer grates and
train tracks to name a few. Be
watchful for this type of hazard
and be sure to ride far enough
away from parked cars to avoid a
door opening unexpectedly.

e OBEY THE RULES OF THE
ROAD — traffic signs are design-
ed to keep all traffic moving as
safely as possible and to prevent
accidents. ,
