Out 0f The Mouths Many of us may bave even been involved in such' a situation, cither a near-miss of a bit, whicb, ncvertbeless, affects a person mentally even if death is not involved. 1But the root of this deadly arrangement can be traced back to its beginning. And, more often than not, it is the fault of theolder generation. For instance, how many parents buy "Junior" a two- wheeler, teach him how to steer and put on the brakes and then "chuck" the uned- ucated little killer on to the road amongst a multitude of innocent drivers? How many 0f Balbes parents check the safcty regulations for a bicycle and make sure the kid's bike meets them? Or bow many parents teach their children hand signaIs and enforce their use? If you can answer 'yes" to these two basic require- ments, I believe you arein a minority. Why not a test for bicycle riders which could be mun in the form of a cont est? Why not a minimum age for bicycle riders? Why not licensing for riders? Why not safety checks? In bicycles, as in the case of cars, the more mature the rider, the less the risk of injury. Bicycles must be tested under the same stand- ards as a car for safety and riders under the same require- ments as a driver (you wouldn't let a seven-year-old drive a car, would you? After alI, riders and drivers are, using the same roads, arent they?

And not because of poor driving by the adult in the automobile or because the view of the adult was obstructed. The reason the child was killed was because he didn't know bow to ride a bicycle safcly. With alI the bicycles on the road now (thep ast few years, bicycles have been outselling cars in this country), we certainly have ahl seen child- ren almost kîlled as a result of their totally ignorant riding.
