sk any non-cyclist why they don’t ride bikes and the likely
answer you’ll get is that they don’t want to get killed. It’s
an unfortunate reality that cycling on the street is less
safe that riding in a motor vehicle, but for many of us the risks are
outweighed by the health benefits, practicality and simple joy of
riding a bike. This issue of Bicycle Times is dedicated to safety
of all kinds, and we can’t think of a more important subject for
rookie and veteran cyclists alike.
It’s best to use your head when it comes to safety, so we visited
the Bell Helmets development and testing lab where we learned
how helmets are designed and tested. Take a look behind the
scenes starting on page 34.
The best way to stay safe in an accident is to avoid it in the
first place. Our cover story takes a look at the growing trend of
apparel that is designed to keep you visible on your bike. New
reflective materials, LED lighting and intelligent color placement
factor in to the latest designs. See how they work starting on
page 40.
Denver’s Five Points neighborhood hasn’t always been a very
safe place, but that didn’t stop Gregory Crichlow from following
his dream and opening a bike shop there. Now the neighbor-
hood is changing quickly and his shop, Chocolate Spokes, is a
bridge between two dramatically different communities. Read
about the transformation starting on page 44.
Finally, keeping yourself safe is paramount, but what about
your bike? We asked experts from Kryptonite and Abus about
what kind of lock to buy, where to park your bike and other tricks
for keeping your bike in your hands and not a thief’s. See what
they had to say on page 13.
Nothing can guarantee absolute safety on your bike, but
you should never have to ride in fear. If you take a few practical
measures, stay alert and ride confidently, you’ll go a long way
towards keeping the rubber side down. Be safe out there and
enjoy your Bicycle Times!
