There are many bicycles on
today’s roads. More people are
using bicycles as a means to
commute for recreation and for
exercise. Some of the more
common reasons include low
cost to operate, reducing the
consumption of fossil fuels,
and exercise.
Motorists should remember
these tips when sharing the
road with a cyclist:
A bicycle is considered by
law to be a vehicle. When a
cyclist has stopped and remains
astride their bicycle at an inter-
section and/or for a traffic sig-
nal, they are to be treated as a
vehicle waiting for their turn to
proceed.
Many children riding bicy-
cles on the street may lack the
necessary training and skills
for safe cycling. They may not
be aware of all dangers.
Be alert for small children
on oversized bicycles. This
may increase the likelihood for
loss of control.
When passing a cyclist, go
around them like you would
any other vehicle. Leave lots of
room.
When you are preparing to
need to ride further out when
they have to steer away from
drainage grates, pot holes,
debris, loose gravel or sand,
wet or slippery surfaces, rutted
or grooved pavement and even
dogs. Be aware of the roadway
conditions that may affect a
cyclist.
Do not sound your horn
unnecessarily when you are
overtaking a cyclist. It may
startle them and cause them to
lose control. If you feel that
you must use your horn, tap it
quickly and lightly while you
are still some distance away
from the cyclist.
Cyclists should also remem-
ber that, when they are riding
their bicycles on streets and
highways, they are considered
by law to be a vehicle.
Therefore they are required
to obey all the rules of the road,
which apply to other (motor-
ized) vehicles, plus those that
apply only to bicycle operators.
Cyclists using the streets and
highways should:
Never ride against traffic.
It is one of the leading causes
of crashes, accounting for 15
percent to 20 percent of all
crashes with cars.
Keep both hands on the
handlebars except when mak-
ing a hand signal.
Keep both feet on the ped-
als.
Not carry more people at
one time than the bicycle was
designed for.
Not hold onto, attach them-
selves, or attach the bicycle to
any other moving vehicle.
Only ride side by side on
the road with another cyclist
when it does not impede other
traffic. If traffic doesn't have
enough room to pass you safe-
ly, ride single file.
Ensure the bicycle is
equipped with at least one
white light to the front and a
red light and or red reflector
mounted on the rear of the
bicycle when riding between
sunset and sunrise.
Ensure the bicycle has
effective brakes.

Coast Guard Aux. offering boating safety class
Ever wonder what to do if
you are on a leisurely boat ride
and the captain or boat owner
has a heart attack or falls over-
board?
The U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary can help answer that
question with its upcoming
boating safety class, Suddenly
in Command.
Suddenly in Command is a
free, three-hour class offered to
assist boat occupants who are
not normally at the helm
(including spouses, children or
others aboard) who may find
themselves suddenly in com-
mand if the operator becomes
ill, gets injured, falls overboard
or has to attend to some other
emergency and is unable to
operate the vessel.
The purpose of this short
course is to familiarize the stu-
dent with essential safety infor-
mation so they can assess and
stabilize the situation, operate
the vessel and summon any
required assistance.
Participants will learn about
their vessel, including nomen-
clature and basic operating
principles as simple as starting
the engine.
Also included are descrip-
tions of what causes boating
mishaps, how to minimize
them and what equipment
should be on board.
Misfortune occurs in sec-
onds and preparation is key to
reduce dangerous risks.
For anyone who would like
to sign up for this free class,
seating is limited.
Suddenly in Command will
be held Saturday, July 30, from
9 a.m. to noon, at the Port of
Siuslaw office, 100 Harbor St.,
in Old Town Florence.
Preregistration is required.
To register, contact Jonathan
Yoder, U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary, at 541-991-1181.

make a right turn, watch for
cyclists who may pull up
alongside your vehicle.
Remember to shoulder-
check your blind spots.
When you are about to
make a right turn, do not pull
up beside a cyclist and then
turn directly in front of them
and cut them off.
When pulling away from
the curb, always check for
cyclists who may be trying to
pass you.
When parked at the curb,
always check for cyclists
before you open your vehicle
door. It’s the driver’s responsi-
bility not to open the vehicle
door into traffic.
Do not follow too close
behind cyclists. They do not
have brake lights to warn you
when they are stopping.
Cyclists are entitled to
make left turns in the same
manner as motorists. Since
they are more exposed to traffic
on left turns, they will need
extra consideration, especially
on multi-lane roads.
Cyclists are required to
ride as close as practicable to
the curb, however they may

dling, defense and coordination

tions.

girl players with him to act as
assistant coaches. Pearl’s teams
are having an outstanding sea-
son in the English National

“For the younger kids, it will
be a lot about learning the basics
of positions, what they do, how
to stand and how to handle a foot-
ball,” Pool said. “The older kids
will work on everything from
stance and footwork, to the
mechanics of catching a ball,
agility, coverage and tackling
techniques that are effective and
safe.”
The camp for grades five
through eight will include sta-
tions for quarterbacks, wide
receivers, runningbacks and
offensive lineman, as well as
defensive skills for defensive
backs, linebackers and defensive
linemen.
Each day will end with a series
if 5-on-5 matchups, as well as a
mini game to give participants
practice hands-on practice of the
skills they learn each day.
For Pool, who organized
Lacrosse camps in Sherwood,
Ore., before coming to Siuslaw,
“It’s familiar ground in new terri-
tory,” he said. “It’s a great way to
teach communication and build
confidence in the kids who come
to camp, and also our players
who will be coaching it.”
The cost of the camp is $5, and
includes a camp T-shirt, Viking
water bottle, beverages and a sur-
prise gift.
“We want to develop skills,
but also integrity, class and a pos-
itive self-image,” said Pool. “I’m
excited to see the kids interact
with each other and with the
community.”
