when i was about 9 in the early 50s.i went on the road for the first time and i recieved the 2 "golden rules"of cycling.1/do not ride in traffic away from the side of the road.2/if you have any security doubts of any sort "get off and walk".
dont worry about what people might think.your safety is in your hands.never ever thru fatuige or otherwse, take chances.dont show off.
cycling is deadly serious.always think safety,safety,saftey.when you are a confident cyclist your safety awarenes will serve you in all circumstances that are potencially dangerous.
