% A little sense will News help you survive faces affect the stability of a motor cycle much more than that of a car. Therefore, always be aware, and assess * the conditions and road sur- face ahead. This includes keeping. a sharp eye out for such thinks as railway or streetcar tracksy manhole covers, lose sand or gravel on paved roads, patches of spilled oil, pot holes or broken pavement, freshly painted line markings and. ridges with steel gratings or wooden planks. Above all, keep your dis- tance. If you follow another vehicle tod closely, your view of traffic situations is reduced and you increase the chance of running into the vehicle ahead should it stop suddenly, Weaving in and out of heavy traffic is a sure sign of an inexperienced or careless rider. When you have to change lanes, make sure there is no overtaking traffic. Signal your intention and then change lanes only when it is safe to do so. BICYCLES The bicycle boom of recent years has resulted in an alarming increase in the number 'of deaths and injuries involving bicycles -- primarily from collisions with larger vehiclés. Between 1974 and 1975, the number of people killed on bicycles.rose from 45 to 56, an increase of more than 24 per cent. The number of cyclists - injured -over - the same two-year period total- led 7, 189. These tragedies can be prevented. In addition to obeying Ontario's traffic" laws, there are a number of proven safety measures that ~ will help you survive, Studies of collisions involv- ing bicycles indicate several major problem areas: lack of ability to handle the par- ticular type or size of bicycle; lack of proper equipment such as reflectors and lights; Mack of know- ledge and observance of the rules of the road and safe cycling practices. First, ride a bicycle that fits you. The size. of your bicycle affects your ability to reach and use the steering, pedalling and braking controls. You should be able to reach the ground comfort- ably with the ball of your foot when you are sitting upright in the seat. Make sure your bicycle is in a safe operating condition. Practise with your bicycle before you take it out on a busy street. If you're used to a, standard bicycle, you'll find a highspeed, geared bicycle takes some getting used to. Ride as close as possible to the right hand side of the road and in single file. And, if you're out after dark, make sure motorists can see you. Use a light, reflector and reflective tape required by law, and it helps to wear light-coloured clothing. Also put an extra bit of reflective tape on the bike pedals. Remember, a bicycle is one of the smallest vehicles on the road, and it's not easy for a motorist to see you. Even when the motorist does see you, it's a common error to misjudge the distance of a smaller object.
