As you go to the store and purchase your friend, child,
nephew, or grandchild a bicycle helmet and knee pads; you are only attempting
to minimize damage for a possible bicycle accident. However, we rarely take the time and spend
the resources and money to prevent the accidents from happening in the first
place; like bright clothing, flags, lights, traffic signs, and road safety
training and mentoring. We often teach
young kids to ride bicycles but fail to train them in how to be safe;
especially as they grow older and begin to ride bikes along cars on residential
drives and even on busy roads. Bicycle
accidents are serious occurrences that can main or kill riders of any age; yet
we rarely stop and think about how bad a problem it is in our community; how
they happen, why they happen, and how to prevent them. Bicycle helmets help, but serious injury or
death can be prevented the majority of times; if not 100% of the time. This short presentation about bicycle accidents; discusses the how bad, how they
happen, and why they happen here in the Southeast U.S.
