operated by a 31 yearold richmond hill man but most of those fatalities were preventable the canada safety council says more than 90 per cent of cyclist deaths across the country involve motor vehicles and in 70 per cent of the collisions the cyclist is at fault either by violat ing a law or by poor road sense according to the council ontarios motor vehicle act considers bicycles to be vehicles and raynald marchand council manager of traffic safety and training said that means cyclists need to learn how to respect other vehicles and obey rules of the road just like cars and trucks however a healthy dose of respect from both sides is whats really needed mr frank said i think the most i would want from other vehicles is a little bit of space and if space means respect then yes we need that respect and a little bit of patience brian frank cyclist i think the most i would want from other vehicles is a little bit of space he said and if space means respect then yes we need that respect and a little bit of patience in the hopes of preventing future deaths mr marchand said a few simple safety tips can save lives twothirds of all cyclist deaths involve head injuries and up to 85 per cent of those injuries could be prevented by wearing a helmet according to the council in ontario riders younger than 18 must wear a helmet by law but we think all cyclists should wear a bike helmet at all times mr marchand said while a helmet is the no 1 way to protect yourself on a bike the council also recommends cyclists ride with the flow of traffic avoid roads with speed limits 60 kmh and above and pick routes that allow the kind of space bikes needs every time a vehicle passes you on the road you are giving that driver an awful lot of trust he has to miss you each time mr marchand said be predictable visible and wear the proper equipment including a bike helmet mr marchand said do that and youll be a lot safer as a veteran cyclist mr frank wears a helmet and reflective clothing he follows every safety tip out there but thinks more needs to be done including improving road conditions and building dedicated bike lanes for cycling commuters sha m a little time can make
