Bicycle Thieves

Smothered by the damp heat and hiding from the rain under trees with a damaged dirt bike—how every teenage girl dreams of spending her summer vacation!

I also don’t like four wheelers because they are not safe to ride because if the four wheeler flips it could crush you because they are heavy and big. Dirt bikes are smaller and don’t way as much…

When I was a kid, nothing compared to riding my bike around town. Since I obviously couldn’t drive, my bike was my ticket to freedom. I could go anywhere (in a manner of speaking), and I wasn’t limited to just hanging out at home. While I loved to ride, one year my parents got me a scooter to bomb around in instead, and that became my new favorite toy. While biking was great if I wanted to go far, the scooter was perfect for running to the store or playing around at school. These days, however,…

it went down for some reason. The older a person gets, the greater need there is for safety equipment when riding a bike because they are not as steady. In a different study, they found that a lot of the fatalities related to older people riding bicycles, whereas it used to be the younger crowd that had the most fatalities. As a person gets older, one of the things that they can do to be safer while cycling is to buy an adult tricycle because it eliminates balance issues. The bottom line is that…

Consider bikers as babies and toddlers. In a similar fashion, a toddler roams around freely but the second of looking away, this toddler is injured. Bikers are very enthusiastic and eager and desire to share the roads with other vehicles. Remember the time your father or perhaps your mother taught you how…

Bailen Bike Bucket were the best ones. In 1984 the ANSI headgear committee took on the ANSI Z80.4 which was the first workable bike helmet standard for the U.S. The Snell Foundation fixed their standard the next year to make more realistic levels for bicycle riding impacts. Within the next year the ANSI standard took over the market and the old “helmets” were gone (in some instances because of lawsuits). In the mid-1980’s bike helmets had EPS foam liners, with ABS or polycarbonate hard shells.…
