OPP officer conducts bike rodeos More than 30 children tested their cycling skills dur- ing a bicycle rodeo at the Hen- sall playground on July 26, and Cpl. Dave Woodward of the Exeter OPP detachment put another dozen through a similar obstacle course at the Zurich playground later the same day. Before the young people mounted their bikes, the policeman spoke briefly about the dos and don'ts of riding a bicycle in traffic. "Driving a bike is a serious business", he emphasized. "The person who makes the difference in survival is YOU." After all participants had walked through the course while Cpl. Woodward explain- ed what was required and why, each youngster in turn jumped on his or her bike and set out to lose as few points as possible. The first obstacle, a narrow path marked with rope, tested the rider's balance and abili- ty to stay within the narrow boundaries. Most participants had no difficulty snaking their way through a set of pylons set seven feet apart, although a few cones were toppled by feet or pedals as the course narrowed at the fourth test station. Most riders were rusty on stopping and signalling, leading Woodward to suspect they don't do it very often in actual situations. "I wish parents would take more interest in bike safety. Their resonsibility is just beginning when they pay for the bike at the store", Wood- ward commented. "Parents take a great interest in driver education in the high schools, but with bikes, parents make the purchase, then often let the kid fend for himself". He pointed out that in any acci- dent the cyclist is invariably the one who gets hurt. (Being a parent as well as a police of- ficer has made him doubly sa fety-conscious) . "We would like parents and kids to realize when driving a bike they are driving a vehi- cle whose movements are regulated by the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. A bike is not a toy" Woodward said. Not too many people are aware that the law states a About people you know Congratulations to Vicky and Gerard Ducharme of Wyoming on the arrival of their second child, a baby girl, born on July 18th in Sar- nia Hospital.

For seven years before coming to Exeter in 1978, Woodward was OPP com- munity services officer in the Niagara region. His duties in- cluded conducting bike rodeos at ten different schools. Com- munity service officers throughout Ontario show films on bike safety to in- terested groups such as parent -teacher associations when asked to do so. Wood- ward especially recommends one titled "Bicycles are beautiful", starring Bill Cosby. The majority of the young people in Hensall and Zurich who participated in the rodeo obtained fairly high scores, which pleased Woodward. "If they are conscientious on the course, and apply the same skills on the road, they will be good cyclists with an excellent chance to survive," he observed.
