1) Bicycling Magazine - Jan/Feb 08 The January/February issue of Bicycling Magazine provides a important major feature on America's Traffic Laws and what we as cyclists can do to ensure that there is a fair legal process for us in the event of an accident. It give the examples of serveral cyclists who have been involved in accidents with vehicles and how this has affected their lives as well as those of friends and family. The article deals with death, paralysis, taking action and tells you how to "ride smart". The article illustrates that cyclists are not just cyclists but your next door neighbour, your doctor, the paper boy, its just that they enjoy riding a bike and thats what makes us different, but not the enemy. This is a thought provoking feature that does not glamourise cycling or driving but tells us all how we should share the road. It should be compulsory reading for anyone riding a bike for first time and for anyone driving a car. Go out, buy your copy today, grab a large coffee and read. After that - get involved. |
