Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, May 14, 1986 Big bicycle? Beware! (NC) -- Whether you take it up to stay in shape, to save gas and money, to enter the Tour de France, or explore the world, cycling is fun. And it's one of those few sports that families and friends of all ages, and all sizes, can enjoy together. To help keep your cycling family safe on the trail, the Product Safety Branch of Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada offers the following suggestions: e Make sure the bike fits the rider. (A recent study found that a child increases his chances of having an accident by five times when riding a bike that's too large and by three times when riding a bike that's too small.) Don't buy a bicycle with the idea that the child will "grow into it.' Correct size? You should be able to reach the ground comfort- ably with the ball of your foot when you are sitting upright on the seat. e Give young children bicycles equipped with standard coaster brakes until they're old enough to know how to use caliper brake models, and to be physically able to do so. e Be sure gear mechanisms are simple. Derailleur gears may be too complex for the novice rider or small child. A tangled chain or slip- ping pedal due to misuse of derail- leur gears has caused many an acci- dent or injury. Keep in mind that a bicycle ridden on a road is a vehicle. As such, it has the rights and restrictions de- fined by vehicular laws. It may be the smallest vehicle on the road, but the driver shares the same respon- sibility for safety as the drivers of cars and trucks. e You must obey all traffic signs. You must ride on the right hand side of the road, and must signal be- fore turning, changing lanes, stop- 1 G ' WARNING: If you handle industrial wastes, this notice is INDISPENSABLE. On June 17, 1985, Waste Management Regulation 309 was proclaim- ed in Ontario. Essentially, it will hold anyone who generates, treats, stores, hauls or disposes of industrial waste responsible for its safe handling. 17, 1986. ment at 475-1305. Consumer Affairs ping or slowing down. e Your bicycle should be equipped with safety devices: a loud clear bell or horn; a white or amber front light, a red reflector or light on the rear and red reflective material at least 25 cm long on the back fender. Front forks should have white re- flective material. e You should inspect your bicycle regularly and maintain it in good working order. e When you buy a bicycle, it is a good idea to ask if it has been certi- fied by the Canadian Standards As- sociation. Certification assures you that the bicycle is safe. And a word to parents about child carriers: e Add-on carriers are not legal under the Highway Code of most provinces. Check with your provin- cial authorities before using one on roadways. It should also be noted that the Canadian Institute of Child Health doesn't recommend their use. However, if you do decide to use one, here are a few guidelines: e Make certain that the child's~ weight is not greater than the manu- facturer's recommended load. Most child seats are good for children only up to 18 kg. e Select a seat that mounts behind the saddle and has enclosed sides to keep the child's feet out of the spokes. It must be rigid enough and solid enough to withstand swaying. The Regulation also institutes new Manifest requirements; provides - definitions of hazardous and liquid industrial wastes; and sets new standards for carriers. MORE importantly, it increases the respon- sibilities of generators and requires their registration by September For further information regarding this Regulation and your respon- sibilities as an industrial waste generator or hauler, please con- tact the Thunder Bay office of the Ontario Ministry of the Environ- Ontano ee eee eee ee ee ee ee Ministry ofthe Environment Hon.

Let us all pray for this. While out walking the other day, I noticed that some folks are still throw- ing trash on the ground in the park. Come on now, whoever is doing this, use the trash cans.
