1
00:00:01,15 --> 00:00:01,21
The.

2
00:00:26,89 --> 00:00:31,03
What does the pilot of a helicopter the
motorcycle rider in the bicycle rider have

3
00:00:31,03 --> 00:00:36,12
in common. Well the answer is quite simple.
They have two main responsibility.

4
00:00:36,75 --> 00:00:37,96
First they must make certain

5
00:00:37,96 --> 00:00:41,28
that their machines aren't perfect
mechanical condition at all times

6
00:00:54,39 --> 00:00:56,83
the bicycle is about one
hundred fifty years old today.

7
00:00:57,86 --> 00:01:02,28
It's ancestor the hobby horse was propelled
by kicking the ground with both feet.

8
00:01:04,82 --> 00:01:06,28
Let's see what are some of the things

9
00:01:06,28 --> 00:01:11,16
that you can do to keep your bicycle in
good repair adjust the saddle correctly

10
00:01:11,95 --> 00:01:18,84
and position the handlebars to fit your

11
00:01:18,84 --> 00:01:22,95
size and make sure that the stem is far
enough down in the fourth for safety

12
00:01:22,95 --> 00:01:28,06
and there's tightened security
replace one handlebar grips

13
00:01:28,06 --> 00:01:33,46
and cement them on firmly those grips
may cause you to take a nose dive.

14
00:01:34,73 --> 00:01:37,15
Be sure that your horn or
Bell works properly and

15
00:01:37,15 --> 00:01:39,21
that it can be heard for
at least one hundred feet.

16
00:01:39,36 --> 00:01:43,86
If you do any riding at night your bicycle
must have a white headlight visible at

17
00:01:43,86 --> 00:01:47,46
least five hundred feet ahead in the dark.

18
00:01:49,74 --> 00:01:54,78
As a red reflector on the rear which
should always be kept plain red reflective

19
00:01:54,78 --> 00:01:59,95
tape is also an added safety measure
mechanical failure can cause serious acts.

20
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:03,88
Didn't a weak link in the
chain may cause a bad spill.

21
00:02:03,90 --> 00:02:08,56
One of the most important things to track
is your brake whether it is a hand brake

22
00:02:09,42 --> 00:02:14,90
or a coaster brake always make sure it
is properly adjusted good pedals are

23
00:02:14,90 --> 00:02:16,86
important for control over your bicycle.

24
00:02:17,46 --> 00:02:20,41
Lubricate and tighten pedal
bearings and spindle

25
00:02:21,11 --> 00:02:25,15
and replace worn treads which may cause
your foot to slip off the pedal in an

26
00:02:25,15 --> 00:02:29,45
emergency. Your trainers
your power transmission.

27
00:02:29,47 --> 00:02:32,33
Keep it clean by washing it with kerosene.

28
00:02:32,34 --> 00:02:36,51
Oil The let me quickly and keep it
at the right tension not too tight.

29
00:02:36,65 --> 00:02:42,16
Just enough to keep from jumping off the
sprockets slipping chain can easily cause

30
00:02:42,16 --> 00:02:46,41
injury to the rider be sure all the
spokes of the wheels are tight

31
00:02:46,41 --> 00:02:49,55
and replace broken ones at once missing

32
00:02:49,55 --> 00:02:52,64
or loose spokes can cause damage
to the rim and be dangerous.

33
00:02:54,19 --> 00:02:58,46
Check to see that your wheels are
properly lined up between the forks so

34
00:02:58,46 --> 00:03:02,51
that the tires and rims do not rub.

35
00:03:02,52 --> 00:03:06,01
Always keep your tires inflated with
the correct air pressure and see

36
00:03:06,01 --> 00:03:07,92
that they are not worn beyond safety.

37
00:03:08,68 --> 00:03:12,35
Remember a well kept
bicycle is a safe bicycle.

38
00:03:13,98 --> 00:03:17,84
The second thing common to the
motorcycle rider on the bicycle rider is

39
00:03:17,84 --> 00:03:20,28
that they should know the
safety rules and traffic laws

40
00:03:20,28 --> 00:03:22,94
that must be followed before
riding on the streets

41
00:03:28,58 --> 00:03:32,03
police officers go to school to learn
how to ride their motorcycles.

42
00:03:50,85 --> 00:03:54,95
Just like the police officers learn to
be expert motorcycle riders in a special

43
00:03:54,95 --> 00:03:59,50
training area. So should you learn
to ride your bicycle in a safe spot.

44
00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:03,74
Away from traffic after you
have learned the bicycle rules

45
00:04:04,83 --> 00:04:08,80
when you begin to ride your bicycle
ride slowly until you become used to it

46
00:04:08,80 --> 00:04:13,07
and your muscles are limbered up
to be a good rider it is important

47
00:04:13,07 --> 00:04:14,95
that you know the correct riding position

48
00:04:21,85 --> 00:04:25,05
with the pedal in its down position
your leg should be slightly bent

49
00:04:25,05 --> 00:04:30,76
when the ball of your foot is placed on
the tread that is the right way to pedal

50
00:04:30,76 --> 00:04:32,81
and it makes riding your
bike easier and safer.

51
00:04:33,93 --> 00:04:36,82
Be sure to pedal even a
rhythm is what counts.

52
00:04:38,66 --> 00:04:39,84
You should lanes slightly forward

53
00:04:39,84 --> 00:04:43,86
when you grab the handlebars keep your
shoulders steady and don't waffle

54
00:04:43,86 --> 00:04:49,67
and keep your knees in
parallel to the frame.

55
00:04:52,40 --> 00:04:55,71
Before you ride your bicycle learn
the traffic laws and regulations

56
00:04:56,87 --> 00:04:58,45
and know how to obey them at all times.

57
00:04:59,66 --> 00:05:04,08
In general the rules for the bike rider
are the same as for the motorist in the

58
00:05:04,08 --> 00:05:04,50
same way

59
00:05:04,50 --> 00:05:08,35
that the motorist must give arm signals
for turning so must the bicycle rider.

60
00:05:08,78 --> 00:05:14,14
All I'm sick notes are given with a left
arm for a right turn the arm is bent

61
00:05:14,14 --> 00:05:20,75
pointing straight up a left turn must be
made with extreme caution always watching

62
00:05:20,75 --> 00:05:26,23
for traffic give your arm signal well in
advance for a left turn the arm is held.

63
00:05:26,31 --> 00:05:27,55
Straight out from the shoulder.

64
00:05:28,21 --> 00:05:32,07
Remember always to drive with both
hands on the handlebars except

65
00:05:32,07 --> 00:05:37,36
when you are giving your arm signal if
it is necessary for you to ride in heavy

66
00:05:37,36 --> 00:05:37,44
traffic

67
00:05:37,44 --> 00:05:43,02
and you wish to make a left turn at a
busy intersection stop get off your bike

68
00:05:43,92 --> 00:05:45,42
and wait for a new green light

69
00:05:51,37 --> 00:05:53,20
look to the left to the right

70
00:05:53,20 --> 00:05:57,01
and to the rear before walking
your bicycle across the street

71
00:05:58,00 --> 00:05:59,87
and wait there to cross to the left.

72
00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:06,67
Side again with the green light the
proper arm signal for slowing down

73
00:06:06,67 --> 00:06:09,68
or stopping as the left arm pointed down.

74
00:06:11,26 --> 00:06:12,10
Always stop

75
00:06:12,10 --> 00:06:18,95
when you see this sign.

76
00:06:18,97 --> 00:06:23,44
When you're right on the street with friends
stand single file keep to the right

77
00:06:23,44 --> 00:06:28,64
and avoid riding on the sidewalk stay a
safe following distance behind all the a

78
00:06:28,64 --> 00:06:32,75
cause. The expert bike rider
doesn't speed show off

79
00:06:32,75 --> 00:06:38,18
or hitch ride ride alone on your bike
carrying other riders going to be dangerous.

80
00:06:39,20 --> 00:06:42,89
Give the Destin's the right away
that is both safe and courteous

81
00:06:44,22 --> 00:06:46,91
and yield to automobiles
crossing your path

82
00:06:55,07 --> 00:06:57,21
when you carried books
help with the shopping

83
00:06:57,21 --> 00:06:59,21
or running errands use a luggage rack

84
00:07:00,04 --> 00:07:04,58
or a carrying basket for packages
making sure to place them in such a way

85
00:07:04,58 --> 00:07:06,21
that they do not obstruct your view

86
00:07:06,21 --> 00:07:07,92
or make riding difficult

87
00:07:14,31 --> 00:07:15,41
when you come out of an alley

88
00:07:15,41 --> 00:07:18,72
or private driveway onto the
street always slow down

89
00:07:18,72 --> 00:07:20,82
and stop completely before going on.

90
00:07:21,82 --> 00:07:25,84
If there are cars parked on the street on
which you are riding always watch for a

91
00:07:25,84 --> 00:07:30,21
car doors being suddenly open or
automobiles pulling out into traffic.

92
00:07:30,70 --> 00:07:34,27
Sometimes the road
PRESENTS special hazards.

93
00:07:34,55 --> 00:07:38,75
And you must ride extra carefully
when the street is wet.

94
00:07:38,75 --> 00:07:40,30
For example it may be slippery

95
00:07:41,12 --> 00:07:47,07
and unless you are cautious you may go
into a skid cross street car tracks with

96
00:07:47,07 --> 00:07:53,18
caution and at an angle so as not
to catch your wheels in the right.

97
00:07:55,73 --> 00:07:58,92
This is where the police department
keeps the bicycles that are lost.

98
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:04,09
But there is an easy way for you to keep
your bicycle from ending up here should it

99
00:08:04,09 --> 00:08:08,90
ever be lost or stolen in
most cities you can license

100
00:08:08,90 --> 00:08:13,08
and register your bicycle just like
the licensing of an automobile

101
00:08:14,03 --> 00:08:15,77
and a police officer will tell you how.

102
00:08:16,80 --> 00:08:21,28
A license is cheap insurance and it helps
the police to find and return lost

103
00:08:21,28 --> 00:08:22,44
and stolen bicycles.

104
00:08:23,59 --> 00:08:28,33
If you can't license your bicycle in your
city take down the frame serial number of

105
00:08:28,33 --> 00:08:28,79
your bike

106
00:08:28,79 --> 00:08:30,07
and keep it in a safe place

107
00:08:36,95 --> 00:08:39,03
and when you leave your
bicycle parked anywhere.

108
00:08:39,31 --> 00:08:41,25
Be sure you have a lock on it

109
00:08:46,09 --> 00:08:50,84
always park your bicycle in a safe
place never leave it in a driveway

110
00:08:53,46 --> 00:08:56,71
or you may not be able to
enjoy your bicycle fall on

111
00:09:05,86 --> 00:09:11,52
a good bike rider is easy to recognize
he make sure his bicycle as always in

112
00:09:11,52 --> 00:09:15,44
perfect mechanical condition
he learns how to ride

113
00:09:15,44 --> 00:09:20,74
and knows all the bicycle rules and traffic
laws before riding on the streets.

114
00:09:21,65 --> 00:09:24,95
He rides on the right side of the
street and doesn't speed stunt

115
00:09:24,95 --> 00:09:26,23
or take full strength.

116
00:09:28,48 --> 00:09:33,10
He shows extra care and traffic
especially a busy intersections.

117
00:09:33,12 --> 00:09:39,83
He is considerate of pedestrians
and he always locks his bicycle.

118
00:09:39,85 --> 00:09:44,25
Keep in mind what you have learned here
with the motorcycle officer about bicycling

119
00:09:45,20 --> 00:09:50,00
try to reflect credit upon yourself your
parents your school and your community.

120
00:09:50,97 --> 00:09:56,69
Remember the bicycle rider of today
is the automobile driver of tomorrow.
