The youngsters are reminded that whentbey ride their bicycles on the highway, they must travel on the right hand side of the road the same as cars do. They should ride as close to the right band side of the road or curb as possible. When cycling with friends always ride single file, that is one behind the other. Never ride two on a bicycle, your bicycle was designed to carry only one person - you. Drive your bicycle as youwould expect an adult to drive his automobile - cautiously, alertly making sure that you are aware cars and trucks are also using the same highway and these are much harder to control than your bicycle and I fear you would come out second best if you came into contact with one, Always remember to signal your intended movements, by this we mean your turns, Always treat your bicycle with respect, it is a means of transportation and should be used as only, that and not something to fool around on the highways with. If you wish to horse around on your bike then do so on a vacant lot or some other place where there is not any vehicle traffic. If you pay attention to these simple rules I am sure you will enjoy a happy and safe holiday. and that's 30 for this week remember - When in doubt what to say, take a chance on getting' by with the truth.
