Car Racing Sports

Bicycling is healthy way to get around. Traveling by bike also eliminates traffic congestion, reduces gas emissions and best of all, is free!! Choosing to ride your bicycle for your daily commute is the “greenest” form of transportation aside from walking. You are also adding exercise to your daily routine. However, in Virginia, there were 875 bicycle crashes in 2007. Of this 875, there were 7 fatal crashes and 839 rider injuries. If you are going to ride, you need to consider the following tips so you will have a safe bicycling experience:

Wear bright or reflective clothing to maximize your visibility at night.

Wear a DOT, ANSI, OR Snell-approved helmet which are designed with hard outer shells and a retention system to protect the head and the brain in a variety of impacts. In 2006, 41% of those killed in crashes were not wearing a helmet.

If your helmet is not equipped with a face shield, wear goggles or glasses with plastic lenses to protect your eyes against insects, wind, dirt, rocks, or other airborne matter.

Do not ride more than two abreast on highways. When riding two abreast, do not impede the movement of traffic and move into single file when being overtaken from the rear. On a multi-lane roadway, ride in a single lane.

Bicyclists are not permitted to ride on Interstate and certain other controlled access highways. The restricted sections of the highways are marked with conspicuous signs.
