Cyciing skills important in the city
by Frances Sgro
Bruce T. ermans has a bicycle for all
seasons a reasons.
There's fat -tired winter five -speed for
treading t rough snow. There's his slim-
mer, light eight machine for inner-city
commutin . And then there are his Euro-
pean stage racing bicycle and his two tour-
ing machi es, one of them a well -used but
mechanica ly fit bike that's covered over
28,989 kilometres.
No doubt, the 42 -year-old Ottawa resi-
dent and executive director of the Ottawa
Bicycling Club is a serious cyclist. But
even after glescribing his treasured collec-
tion,
ollecttion, Timmerman$ will tell you that it's not
the number of bicycles that's important.
He's seen enough accidents in his 35 years
of cycling to know that the only serious
cyclist is a safe one.
Cycling safety among adult riders has
become a concern. The problem, says
Timmerman, is that more and more en-
thusiasts are' buying bicycles - one
million are sold each year in Canada --
and
and driving them in traffic with minimal
cycling skills and little knowledge of on -
road behaviour.
The result is accidents. In fact, accor-
ding to Timmermans, statistics show that
an inexperienced cyclist is 10 times more
likely to get into an accident than a trained
cyclist.
Lumley nets three as
Peewees .dump St. Columban
A week ago last Friday, the peewees
hosted St. Columban and won by a 4-1
count. Highscoring striker Bob Lumley, a
lethal finisher given even half an oppor-
tunity, netted three goals. Bryan Cor-
riveau added one.
Coach L da Lumley felt that her team
put on a w 11 -balanced display. Defensive
standout were centre -back Keith
Ducharme left -back Mike Stegenstad, and
right -back Gregg De Winter. Left wing
Kelly L mley, midfielder Aaron
Duckworth and inside -left Shane Daven-
port showe 1 creativity in their passing and
support pi- y.
Bryan Cgrriveau and Shane Davenport
split the goaltending chores and both were
sound under pressure.
The Peewees travelled to Kincardine the
following day to participate in the Huron
Minor Soccer Association Peewee Playoff
Championship. In the first game they lost
to Kincardine 2-0. They were defeated 3-1 -
n
in the second game. Bob

Lumley scored the Goderich goal.
Last Tuesday night the Mosquitos tied
with Seaforth 3-3 in a game played in
Goderich.
Striker Donny Rivers scored two goals
and left-wing Mike Hunter one. Coach Jeff
little
felt that his team let down a litt e
in the final fifteen minutes when Seaforth
scored twice.
The Atoms were defeated 10-3 in
Seaforth last Thursday. Jeff Klages, Jason
Meriam and Steven Linklater scored one
goal apiece.
Coach Mike Cicchinj felt that his team
played well. in the first half, which ended
with the scored deadlocked at,2-2.
in Squirt House League action last
Wednesday, Coach Murray Hunter's
Giants clinched the championship by
beating Bombers 5-2.
Terry Pardys and Matt Hunter scored
two goals each and Mark Hunter added
one for Giants. Leander Campbell scored
both goals for Bombers. -

Rider skill critical
Accident figures from Ottawa
underscore the lack of skill among that
city's cycling population. In 1983, there
were 504 reported accidents that required
medical attention, including four deaths.
About half of these riders just fell from
their bikes.
They' fell because they didn't know how
to contro heir bikes," says Timmerman.
"They m have hit a pot -hole -and-not-
been able t cope. Or maybe they weren't
able to hand the railroad tracks."
Bicycles r ning into other bicycles was
the second most frequent accident type
(about 20 per cent) and bicycle / motor
vehicle mishaps (about 17 per cent) the
this`d. Ottawa's statistics, says_ Timmer -
mans, mirror findings in other Canadian -
cities as well as studies done in the United
.States. Clearly, the skill of the rider is the
most important safety factor in preventing
accidents.
Part of the problem is that novice adult
cyclists don't have access to cycling train-
ing programs suited to their needs: they
learn through trial and error which, as the
figures indicate, isn't always the best
teacher.
Many cycling associations and clubs
across Canada, however, are now trying to
fill this void for the adult cyclist.
Know your bicycle
Fundamental to adult training programs
is knowledge of bicycle handling skills.
Ideally, these skills should be acquired
before the cyclists sets a wheel in heavy
traffic. Denys Beamer, a bicycle resear- ,.
cher with the City of Toronto, lists the
necessary skills: -getting on and off a
bicycle; -getting underway safely with
little wobbling and swerving; -driving in
a straight line; -turning safely - both
gradually and quickly; -stopping safely
and accurately; keeping your balance
and a straight line of travel while signall-
ing, driving slowly and looking back over
your shoulder;' and -on multi -speed
bicycles, making proper use of the gears
and shifting them while maintaining con-
trol of the bicycle. , ,
