You know how you're just riding along on your bike on a regular old day day then BAM! A cat jumps out in front of you. There are no super heroes to save you now. What will you do. Stop and think to yourself, “I really need to watch out for hazards because I could hurt myself”. Read on to found out more about keeping safe around hazards.
Animals and people can be a real hazard when you're biking on the footpath. When you are biking on the footpath a cat or person could walk out in front of you. You should stop and let them past because if you don’t stop you could crash into them and hurt them.
Parked cars may look harmless but they are hazards. When you see a parked car look through the back window to see if anyone is in the car because if you go around by the drivers door and there is someone in there SPLAT you'll be on the ground because the driver tried to get out of the car. you also need to watch out if the driver backs up because you don’t want to end up like my flat mate.
Cars must be able to see you when you're riding your bike. It is best to wear bright clothes so cars can see you. You must use your hand signals when you turning corners and stopping.
Make sure cars know what you're doing.
In conclusion when you're biking you need to look out for hazards or you might end up in the hospital. Make sure you always on the look out for cars coming out of driveways. Bike safely and don’t end up like my flat mate.
