But like any other set of w14els it must be used safely and properly for its owner to get the greatest benefit. Most of us were on some sort of a cycle by age three. Once wegraduated from our first trike, we ventured into the dangerous world Of biking (wittEtraining wheels .to help, of cciursel) .

Sqprisingly enough I man- aged to keep my balance. I even pedalled a bit. Unfor- tunately. I forgot to steer. went straight across the road. on, the neighbours' lawn, hit their tree, lost my balance, fell on the ground and bawled. Nevertheless I still learned how to,ride a bike. BIKING SCARS Almost every biker proudly boasts the scar(s) which he or she received from the first fall. No matter how carefully one bikes, no matter how slowly one goes, the first fall is unavoidable. It's an extremely unplea- sant., experience'. as many know, for while yOu're falling through the air- you're won- dering how loud the thud will be when you hit ground. You're praying there won't be blood (because you can't stand the sightofit, especial- ly your own) and you're hoping desperately that the "cool group isn't nearby to see those tears streaming down your cheeks. Years later when you're past the point of falling (Ha Ha) you can chuckle over those memories as you rub your scar. Unfortunately, there have been falls involving bicycles which resulted in more than just scars. When recalled the memories are unpleasant. Last week's editorial asked people to heed bicycle safety rules and asked parents to enfore them. Most people have learned. either in school or at home, the basic rules. Town or Sportin' provincial police canvas§ schools, instructing children on hand signals, road position and rules of the, road. it' is thMk tip tothtr parerkts uncoura'ge the use of the these todeoS+ have been held in SeafOrth, sponsored by the Optnn;f4tS, the Ontario Proirincial Police and the town Police. Hal Claus, Sea-,' forth police ehief, says these safety programs will contin- ue. It is often hard for a bicyclist to determine what status he or she has on public roads. According to the,law. a bicycle is a vehicle which should obey the same laws as cars and trucks. (This in- clu des going under 50 km ph) In most situtations the bicyclist should remain to the extreme right of the roadway. If a left turn is to be made, the bicyclist should move to the centre line of the road he or she is leaving, then signal and when safe, should turn toward the centre of the road where they are going. In this case, the bicyclist should make the turn as if he were diving a car. If a , bicyclist does not like the idea of being in the midst of traffic, the alternative is to walk across the intersection and obey pedestrian laws. BUMPED BY A BIKE Chief Claus says the police are having trouble with bi- cyclists hurting pedestrians • when riding on the sidewalks. They plan to introduce a by-law whielLwould make riding on the sidewalk illegal. It's not nice to get bumped by' a bike, when doing some innocent windowshopping. When these rules are fol- lowed bicycle riding is a very enjoyable sport. There is no rude noise level, no wasted energy (except your own) and the cost is minimal. In larger cities bicycle rides have been organized for those who wish to go biking for a day. The "Ladies' Great Ride for Cancer" is an annual event in, many cities. Several lie start, of this summer. when I biked around a local. "five-toile" block early every morning. At that time`in the morning (roughly seven o'clock) the countryside looks fresh, crisp and beautiful. When riding by myself (who else would be crazy enough to St. Columban played their most important game of the year to date, and play they did as they defeated'- place, Strathroy, 4-1. The game started slowly for St. Columban with Stra- throy scoring the first goal for a 1-0 lead. But St. Columban wasn't to be outdone and they tied the game on a bliStering shot,. by Ernie Szabo. Alex Harret then found the mark late in the first half for a 2-1 St, Columban lead. Second half action saw Ernie Szabo score his second goal of the game and Rick Ryan scored to salt thesame away. This victor now puts St. Columban. in first place by 4_ points. The next game will be in Mitchell on Saturday, August. 29 at 5 p.m. against Stratford. NOTES) Bill Docking played a solid game against Strath- . roy. LINE UP: Tom Murray. Bill Docking, Brian Kennedy.
