Sean and Danielle were leaving the music s tore when they heard the crash. 'What do you suppose that was?' asked Sean. 'I don't know for sure,' said Danielle, 'but it sure sounded bad. It's right over there. Let's go and look.' Sean and Danielle knew they would see an accident. But they didn't know what to expect. There in the middle of the street was a bicycle that had been hit by a car. The bicycle rider was sitting in the street, shaking his head. 'Look at that,' said Sean, 'he's not even wearing a helmet. He is one lucky guy'. 'No kidding,' Danielle replied. 'Look at the driver of the car. She's just as lucky. She's not wearing a seat belt. Sean and Danielle are right. The bicycle rider is very lucky, he was not hurt. Riding a bicycle is a lot of fun, but it can also be very dangerous. You have to pay attention all the time to what you're doing. You also have to follow safety rules. When you ride a bicycle, remember that you share the road with cars and trucks. These vehicles are a lot bigger than you are. So, always wear a helmet when riding your bicycle. Always means 'every time' even if you are just riding around the block. Follow the same rules as car and truck drivers. Bicycle riders also have some special rules. Here are some special rules you should follow: ● Do not ride your bicycle on the sidewalk. By not riding on the sidewalk, you won't run into a pedestrian. ● Ride on bike paths or trails when they are available. ● Always ride in the same direction as traffic. ● Always ride on the right-hand side of the road. ● Wh en you ride with a friend, do not ride next to each other. Ride in single field, one behind the other. ● Obey all traffic signals and signs. Stop at all stop signs. ● Walk your bicycle across busy crossings. ● Be sure to use hand signals when you turn and stop. Follow these safety rules when riding a bicycle at night. ● Have a headlight that works. ● Have these r eflectors on your bicycle: yellow or white in front, and red ones on the pedals and back. ● Wear light-colored clothing so drivers can see you. You should always keep your bicycle in good working order. Make sure the brakes work properly and that your tires have enough air. If you find anything wrong with your bike, fix it or have it fixed before you ride it again. 小题1:How did Sean and Danielle know that they would see an accident?
