Comment on RIDING WITH CHILDREN by Geoff Steele

Slight correction by Geoff Steele. I AM a dealer for the Kidztandem in Huntersville, NC — about 14 miles north of Charlotte and 1 mile off Exit #23 on Interstate I-77. Call (704) 875-8876 for an appointment to come and ride this bike that morphs into a bike for infants; one for physically challenged children; one for adolescents up to 100 pound weight; a freight bike to bring grocries home from the store; and a bike to carry your favorite pet riding with you.

I have recently moved to Charlotte, I am an ex-rider from London, UK. I am a qualified cycling coach and I have raced all over Europe. Today I write and speak about my experiences. I would be very interested in speaking at one of your meetings. My phone is 828-302-5575 or e-mail Londonman11@aol.com.

Hi Martin: Check in the mail for $100 for a corporate membership for us. Make the name “NC Family Bikes LLC” for our operation as resellers of two lines of bikes. If we can get a letter or email noting our donation, that will help with taxes, etc. Thanks, Geoff

A further 50 million are hurt in car accidents.
Car accidents are the 1 killer of persons in the 15-39 year old age bracket.

This was reported in 2010:

Car accidents kill 230,000 americans every year.
So I don’t think Jill Duncan’s contention is not supported by the facts.

According to the World Health Organization 1.2 Million people are killed in car accidents around the world. A further 50 million

To downloadn your copy go to

http://charmeck.org/city/charlotte/Transportation/PedBike/Pages/Bicycle%20Home.aspx

then scroll down halfway, locate the link for Charlotte Cycling Guide, right click on it, select on the Short Cut Menu “Save As”, select where in your computer you want to save it to, and wait for the 45 MB file to download.

If you want a hard copy now, go to your local bike store. I have seen them at the Bike Gallery, Performance Bike, and QueenCity Bicycles.

He was out riding with friends that morning and it was bright enough to be seen.That kind of thought process is rather Childish. We ride because we can and we ride when we want to day or night. We do stuff that you will never ever know about by bike that helps keep this city moving. His death could have been prevented if the Driver had stopped. Bottom line Dark or light. The driver should have stopped. Life is valuable lets keep it that way even if all we ever do is ride a bike for transportation

I am so sorry the man died on Poindexter after being Hit by a car. However he should not have been on that road in the dark. A little personal responsibility goes a long way.
Don’t ride your bike in the dark, it is dangerous and you might be killed.
