Bicyclists Urged to Observe Rules
Within the past few days, we have witnessed two bi
cycle mishaps on fairly busy streets. Both occurred when
youngsters were taking corners too fast and the vehicles
slid on loose gravel, upsetting both bicycles and riders.
The accidents resulted in only scratches and bruises;
however, we couldn’t help but think what might have
happened if one of those small heads had hit a curb or
an oncoming car couldn’t have stopped in time.
A bicycle may be considered a toy to some children,
to others it is a mode of transportation and to still other
youngsters, it is a necessity for delivery work. But it can
also be a dangerous machine if not handled properly,
even though owning one is considered fun.
When boarding those two-wheelers, it is always well
to think! Keep in mind the bicycle safety rules taught
each year by Mr. Ballou and the Nyssa Police depart
ment. This program is sponsored just for that purpose
by the Nyssa Lions club.
There are many ways that bicycle accidents can hap
pen and all should be kept in mind, but “remember,
young cyclists, do slow down when rounding those cor
ners. It’s always better to be a little late, than to be bad
ly injured or maybe never reach your destination.”—A.B.
