A. Riding bicycles is a privilege that we Americans have, and it is a privilege that has
often been abused. The fault for these abuses does not always fall on the bicyclist
himself, but may instead fall on the pedestrian, motorist, or society as a whole.
There are not any simple solutions to this problem, but implementation of a
changes in policy could mean safer travel for all concerned.
B. The first place to start in cleaning up bicycle problems concerns our local police
agencies. The registration and licensing of bicycles would benefit all concerned. By
paying a small fee for this service, the bikers would indeed have a right to use
public streets. Policemen would be able to track down offenders and thus protect
the innocent by virtue of their registration. This service would also be helpful in
finding stolen bicycles, which is becoming common place. The nominal fee would
pay for the time and effort of this service and not burden non-bicycle-riding
taxpayers. Along with the annual check of license, a quick safety check of brakes,
lights, and hors would also be in order. It is not too much to ask a biker to be able
to stop quickly, be seen at night, and be able to sound a warning-
C. Once the bicyclist has a safe piece of equipment and has been registered, he is
legally ready take to the streets-or is he? He should now be instructed
concerning the laws and rules of the road. A simple brochure should inform him of
all the traffic laws and the penalties for breaking those laws. Even with this
accomplished, the task of bicycle safety is not yet completed as the pedestrian and
the motorist must observe safety rules too. Since cars and bikes should not use the
sidewalks, pedestrians should not use the streets. If pedestrians use crosswalks and
refrain from stepping out in front of bikers, this would go a long way toward solving
the problem
D. And the motorist should not consider the bikers as enemies but should allow them
to use the streets as they rightly ought to. This mutual respect between biker,
motorist, and pedestrian may be the hardest to achieve, but it will undoubtedly be
the most important. The friction that now occurs between motorists, bicyclists, and
pedestrians will not be easy to stop, but it is not impossible, and the effort must be
made to do it. An effort will have to be made and will have to involve mutual
