The Keys to Bicycle Safety
Cycling is an activity people take part in for fun and for exercise. When the bicycle first landed on the shores of America, a lot of people were excited to experience what it is like to take in the sweet delights that nature has to give. But like autos, trains and airplanes, there are particular risks that come with riding a cycle. These are various ways to help in avoiding bicycle accidents.
Be Visible. An atrociously enormous number of cyclists get involved in accidents because motorists will be totally ignorant of their presence on the road. If you ride at night or at dusk you must make sure that both your headlight and your taillight are switched on. If you have these switched on as well as wearing a reflecting jacket, you'll be able to avoid having your claim discharged because of failure.
Wear A Helmet. Wearing a helmet might look like an exaggerated way to cycle but the reality is you'll be saving yourself from possible brain injury by wearing one. A helmet is a smart protecting accessory that may cut back the catastrophic results of an accident and the amazing thing is that it goes for rather less than $20. Never go cycling without one. You may also need to take a position in the type of knee guards skate boarders and other intense athletes wear.
Alertness. The indisputable fact that you are cycling and not driving means that you need to exercise a load more awareness than your common motorist. Being alert is all about staying aware of your speedy surroundings and circumstances. Earphones ad other sound giving off devices must therefore be reserved for use at home as they can quite easily divert your attention from foreseeing a conspicuous accident just waiting to occur. The more alert you're the better prepared you'll be when coping with 'out of the blue ' danger situations.
Carry Out Routine Checks of Your Cycle. Before going out for a ride make sure that you carry out a routine check on your bicycle to ensure that it is in good working order. A general inspection lasting for a few minutes can reveal a lot you know. Things to test for include: brakes, ideal tire inflation and comfortable seat positioning. Imagine rolling down a hill and all of a sudden realizing that you brakes are loose. When you're getting ready to swerve into the following lane and a car mysteriously appears from a blind curve, what will you do? It is unexpected events like this that will have you bound up in an accident that could have been easily avoided.
Practicing bicycle safety is exceedingly important if you need to avoid major wounds. Besides, being secure on the road allows you to enjoy a fun ride without being concerned about concerns for what could happen.

Charity Cycle Bicycle?
i am going to be doing a charity cycle in the middle of this year. i am going to be travelling some 400 km in three days. can anyone advise me which mountain (not road) bike would be the best to use and where i can get it for a price under £100. thanks
The two worst things you cam do is ride a mountain bike on the road and use one that is that cheap. You will be better off using a hybrid bike and spend more money on a quality shop bike. You want to at least get a good used bike. A new 100 euro bike is going to be very heavy and mostly junk. You can change the tires to the thinnest and smoothest ones you can find. Remember you will be riding 133 km per day, you want the most efficient bike you can get.
NYC Department of Transportation Presents Curbside Haiku (Core77)
In a rather unorthodox move, the New York City Department of Transportation
has installed a handful of signage from left field. DOT Commissioner Janette
Sadik-Khan and co. enlisted artist John Morse to design twelve graphics, each
complemented by an obliquely explanatory haiku, in the interest of raising
awareness for cyclists and pedestrians.
> "Curbside Haiku," a DOT safety education campaign launched in November 2011,
is a set of twelve bright, eye-catching designs by artist John Morse that
mimic the style of traditional street safety signs. Each sign is accompanied
by a haiku poem. The "Curbside Haiku" installation can be seen citywide on 144
signs to promote road safety. Each design and haiku delivers a safety message
by focusing on a transportation mode.
Placed near eye level in high-crash locations near cultural institutions and
schools, the colorful signs draw attention to the critical importance of
shared responsibility among pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists in keeping
New York City's streets safe.
As bad as traffic can be in the city, the hint of irony--despite the
refreshingly unironic form and presentation of the signs--lies in the fact
that the signs will likely go largely unnoticed by motorists. Of course, if
