Bike tips from OSL With the advent of spring and warmer weather, old and young enthusiasts will be thinking of getting out their bicyeles. The Ontario Safety League suggests a few preliminary steps you should take to make biking safer and more fun. Drive a bicycle that fils you. The size of your bike effects your balance and ability to reach the steering and braking controls and pedals. You should be able to reach the ground comfortably with the ball of your foot while sitting upright on the seal. Parents should supervise the selection of a bieycle for a child and periodically they should inspect the bike to see that it is in good working order. Check the tires for wear and tear. Also check the wheel spokes, chain, lights, and horn. Make sure the bike is well oiled, and tighten any loose nuts and bolts. Check braking ability on both wet and dry surfaces before taking the bike onto the street. Your bicycle should also be in good alignment. If il veers to one side when pushed forward, it is out of line and needs ad- justing. No child should be permitted to drive on roadways until he or she has mastered all aspects of the bicycle and demonstrated this mastery for his or her parents. Bicycle skills that must be taught to children include safe startling, the ability to drive in a straight line near the curb, rules about right-of-way, turning corners, and rapid stopping. Remember that bicyclists are con- sidered drivers under the law and that traffic rules, signs and signals apply to the cyclist just as they do tothe motorist. You are travelling on one of the smallest vehicles on the road and it is not always easy for motorists to see you. Highflying flags are a good idea at anytime. A! night you must have lights, reflective tape and reflectors are required by law, and wear light coloured clothing. . Remember, Sunday, May 26 is the 5th Annual Big Wheelie Bike-A- Thon.
