4T: Rules of the Road by Michele Tedeschi https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7 Hit a TRIPLE!! en-us 2017-03-17 11:41:10 UTC 2017-03-24 14:51:04 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lovecookie.png Samantha Silly sabertonaschi https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7/wish/161917364 Bikers should follow the rules of the road like drivers of cars and trucks. The guide states "Go with traffic. Ride on the right side, going in the same direction as cars" This proves that bicycle riders should follow the same rules that cars do.]]> 2017-03-22 17:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7/wish/161917364 Leah .V https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7/wish/161957915        In my opinion bicyclists should follow the rules of the road. The should follow the rules of the road because: one, they should not interfere when other moving cars or trucks that  are moving different directs as them. Two, they can crash into tourist or people walking by. Three, they can make other people on the road crash. In "Leaders to bikers: slow down" it states "Denner is a tourist who barely avoided an accident while biking on the bridge. After her near miss, Denner thought the proposed speed limits sounded reasonable. "This person wearing full bike gear came [right at] me. I wasn't expecting it," said Denner, adding, "It was a little scary. I think having a speed limit would be a good thing." As you can see bikers should follow the rules of the road for the safety of them selves and others.]]> 2017-03-22 19:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7/wish/161957915 Bicyclists should not follow rules of the road because rules of cars and trucks are different than rules of bicycles. Cars and trucks have different speed limits than bikes because cars can go up to 80 mph but bikes can only go to 10 mph on the San Francisco Bridge.This proves that San Francisco wants to keep the town safe and doesn't want the bikes to go to fast because that can cause accidents with bikes.This explains that bikes are fun but if you go to fast it can cause accidents.That is why bikes should not follow rules of the road but should have their own rules. https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7/wish/161980402 2017-03-22 21:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7/wish/161980402 James https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7/wish/161992487 I think bicyclists should follow the rules to the road just like cars and trucks.
According to the text " Bicyclists often block the bridge's narrow paths ". This shows that bicyclists don't care about other drivers. For instance "Sometimes, they crash into tourists who stop their bikes to drink in the breathtaking views from the immense bridge ". This means that bicyclists would rather look at the breathtaking veiw instead of being kind and letting the other bicyclists go. The text states "The study found that there were 165 bicycle crashes from 2000 to 2009. Speed was noted as a cause in 39 percent of those accidents". Also is the bicyclists stop to look at the veiw and bridge they are putting there lives at risk by stoping. This is because the bicyclists are distacted in the veiw they don't even notice that they could get hit or worse. Lastly this is why I think that bicyclists should follow the rules.

First, the article states, "This person wearing full bike gear came [right at] me. I wasn't expecting it," said Denner, adding, "It was a little scary—I think having a speed limit would be a good thing." This shows an accident that could have been avoided if the bikers had different rules. All in all, bicycle riders should have different rules of the road.]]> 2017-03-23 20:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7/wish/162274122 Briana Briget Gillen https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/ekxmwyi577y7/wish/162283850     Yes they should.
According to the text, they should because they would be safer. Some rules they should follow should be "Go with traffic. Ride on the right side, going in the same direction as cars.

✔ Obey all traffic laws, including traffic signs and signals.


✔ Ride with both hands on the handlebars, except when signaling a turn or a stop.


✔ Stop and look left-right-left for traffic before crossing a street.


✔ Walk your bike across an intersection.


✔ Stay alert. Never wear headphones or listen to music while biking. Watch for cars, people, and other bikers.


✔ Watch for cars pulling out of or in to parking spaces or driveways."


 This proves the bikers should follow the road rules. Another reason is,"However, officials say that some have been riding too fast. In some cases, riders traveled more than 20 mph across the bridge. This show's, that the biker was going to fast and might cause an accident. To sum things up, Bikers should follow the road rules.

    Another reason that bikers should follow the same rules is because, the text, " Rules of the Road " states  "Klimo says that tourists often stop to look at the water, the city, and other scenery. " This quote proves that if bikers stop to look at the view on the Golden Gate Bridge, this causes most of the accidents.  In addition, the bikers stop to look at the view and the cars, trucks can not,  so this causes accidents.  For instance, the bikers are stopping in the middle of the road!!!  Also, the cars / trucks try to stop but they hit into the biker.  To sum things up bikers, trucks, and cars should follow the same rules on the road.

     As you can see, bikers, cars, and trucks should follow the same rules.  This will cause less accidents / injuries!!!

1.    Always wear a helmet. It should be flat on your head and buckled.


2.    Use a bicycle that is the right size for you. It should not be too big.


3.    Check for loose clothing, drawstrings, or shoelaces. They can get caught in the chain and make you fall. (If you fall, you can fall OFF OF THE BRIDGE!)


4.    Check the air in the tires. Make sure the brakes work. Ask an adult for help.
If the brakes don't work, you won't be able to slow and then you'll most likely crash.

5.    Wear bright clothes so others can see you.
Yeah. Don't get hurt!


6.    Follow the rules of the road.


 


Rules of the Road

✔ Obey all traffic laws, including traffic signs and signals. Including stopping with traffic!


✔ Ride with both hands on the handlebars, except when signaling a turn or a stop.


✔ Stop and look left-right-left for traffic before crossing a street.


✔ Walk your bike across an intersection.


✔ Stay alert. Never wear headphones or listen to music while biking. Watch for cars, people, and other bikers. That would be a shame if you got hit while listening to your favorite bops.


✔ Watch for cars pulling out of or in to parking spaces or driveways. Don't be a weirdo and get hurt.



I hope this is good enough. ^-^
