Individual Assignment: Section 2
The development of
the bicycle continued apace until they invented the first safety bicycle which
helped the rider to move around in safely. They design it by putting the pedals
on the middle and attaching a crank to the back wheel. This gave more control
and so more safety for the rider’s .From that time until now the bicycle has
remained in a similar style of design, but they added some new components like
speed control, which helps it to go faster like a racing bicycle. (Mary
Bellis).
Bicycle
riding is a lot of fun, but accidents do happen. The safest way to use your bicycle
is for transportation, not for play. Every year a lot of children go to the emergency
department because of injuries they receive and at least some of these are
serious injuries that require a few days in the hospital. Some of these
injuries are so serious that children die, usually from head injuries. That’s
why the safety of bicycles is paramount and designs are to prevent accidents and
injuries caused by using them. So it is important to use the safety equipment such
a bell or light, light clothes or a helmet at night to minimize this danger. Elbow
pads and knee pads are additional assists that may be used bicycle riding.
