Bicycle Safety–FYI Like any sport, bicycling involves the risk of injury. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know and to practice the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance. When you buckle on your helmet and go for your first familiarization ride on your new bicycle, be sure to pick a controlled environment, away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles, or other hazards. Ride to become familiar with the controls, features, and performance of your bike. Familiarize yourself with the braking action of the bike.

Helmets are designed to absorb the shock of a sudden impact—not necessarily break a fall. During an impact, the energy disperses across the polystyrene shell of the helmet instead of inside your fragile skull. Even the skull is designed to break to help reduce the force on the wearer.

Bicyclists would be perfectly safe donning motorcycle helmets, of course, but they’d find them both heavy and sweaty. Bicycle helmets are lightweight and designed with ventilation to keep heads cool. Safety isn’t guaranteed. Despite rigorous testing standards, no helmet is sure to respond well to every possible form of impact. In general, helmets perform best during impacts against flat surfaces, where the curved, flexible shell…

The rain has subsided here in the Mile High City, and although a small portion of the Platt River trail is technically closed, we have managed to forge through with our bike tours and navigate our way through the waters. I’ve made a game to it to see how our skilled our riders are. If you get a foot wet, you lose! Yesterday was a scorcher, but we can’t complain after record rainfall during the month of May. A fine family of four from Springfield, MO joined us along with two beautiful gals from San Francisco. All I can say is we drank A LOT of water on yesterday’s tour. The best part of the tour was taking a break in Civic Center Park and enjoying offerings from the two dozen food trucks that were parked at lunchtime. As a…
