BADGEWORK: Bicycle Safety Part I
Materials:
•
Cub Book p. 161
Discuss the
need to stop and check for traffic before riding out of your driveway both in
town and in a rural location. Know what side of the road to ride on. (The right
side of the road so you are riding with traffic).
Discuss how
to make yourself more visible at night by wearing bright and reflective
clothing as well as bike reflectors on your bike.
RIDING ON THE RIGHT
SIDE OF THE ROAD
Generally, the usable width of the road begins where you can ride
without increased danger of falls, jolts or blowouts. A road may have a gravel
shoulder, its edge may be covered with sand or trash or the pavement may be
broken. Don't ride there. Closer to the center, there's better pavement, which
is swept clean of sand and debris by the passing cars. The right side of the
road begins here.
Most bicycle crashes are simple falls or are caused by hazards in
front of you. Train your eyes to scan the scene ahead, and look for blindspots.
Keep your eyes moving -- you have to look up at the traffic and also down at
the road for potholes and cracks. Ride far enough into the lane to avoid the
risk from blindspots. If you ride too close to parked cars on your right you
can't see around them into side streets and driveways. A pedestrian, car or
bike could come out from between the parked cars. Drivers in side streets might
pull their cars out into your street to look right and left. And the door of a
parked car could open in front of you.
Where there are parked cars, the usable width of the street begins
about 3 feet out from them -- or from a wall, hedge or other obstruction. As
you approach a blind intersection or driveway, you should be even farther from
the edge of the road -- image a car hood poking out. Don't ride in the danger
zone!
BADGEWORK: Bicycle Safety Part II

•
Cub Book p. 161
