Collisions with automobiles are
said to have been responsible Tor
600 OF the hoo fatalities and a
larger number Of the $1,000 non-fa'

Don't ride a mechanically deteC-

faulty brakes may lead to your
downfall
Don't ride a bike in trsffic until
you have had sufficient practice 10
give you self-confdence: even then.
riding in congested areas is risky.
Don't zig-zag over the road; keep
TO the right.
Don't violate trsHic regulations;
the rules for motorists apply to
bicyclists too.
Don't ride after dark unless your
bike is equipped with a headlight
and a tail reflector
Don't speed on vet pavements-
you may skid into a car
Don't stunt or race in traffic
Don't hitch on to moving auto
mobiles or trucks.
And, unless you have a bicycle
built for two, don't carry second
