Created a Bike Share - Safety Video Suggestions?
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2016 6:02 pm
A few friends and I created a bike share over at fancy liberal arts college land. It has 10 Trek commuter-hybrid bikes from small frame size, to medium, to large, all with lights. Helmets are optional at the moment (to my slight protest).
I've read all of John Forester's book Effective Cycling and I agree and follow pretty much all of his cycling safety techniques; they are what's kept me safe with years of all-year riding in everywhere from South FL, to Western Massachusetts.
Do you have any safety videos that you'd recommend to place on the school's bike share website? I'm looking for (1) a road safety video and (2) an overview of basic bike mechanics video. I'd like them both to be concise, to the point, and cover the most important road safety and mechanics rules of cycling based on John Foresters work, or others like it. Ideally I'd like to avoid the whole: haha I was riding at night with no lights going against traffic on the sidewalk without a helmet.
What do you think - got any examples?
