Two-wheelers of the streets
By Florie Lyn Masarate
As a child, it is what you wanted to have. Remember how it felt like to finally get it as a birthday present from your parents? You were downright happy because you finally got what you wanted. Your step into independence and your first transportation, the bicycle.
E.T. made it defy gravity by making it fly, avoiding those that are coming to get them. But if E.T. only have known that these seemingly harmless looking bicycle can lead to serious accidents, then he would have just made all of them fly, safest that way. But then, that was just Hollywood. This is real life.
Bicycle is one way of safe transportation. Convenient, economic and effective, plus it does not require gasoline or any of the maintenance that other vehicles need. It can also be taken anywhere, hand carried for that matter. Having these characteristics does not make them the safest, or accident-free. On the other hand, it makes them more prone to accidents. There is the ever-present threat of the other vehicles. Then is the drivers and the bikes themselves. It is definitely disadvantageous not only in size but also in structure. One bump and you will find yourself flying, like that in E.T.
Many safety gears have been devised for bicyclists. But can they save you? For example, the helmet. It was created to shield the head from impacts thus preventing head injuries. But it cannot prevent you from getting hit by cars or other vehicles; it doesn’t prevent you from getting hurt. Getting through traffic and stoplights is easier but getting out of it is another matter.
Drivers of the bicycles are the one likely to have major injuries in collision accidents. The causes of this ranging from drivers of other vehicles not seeing them because of not having warning lights to accidentally hitting them while passing on the street. Bicyclists should know that in these accidents, they are also the one likely to get paid for liabilities attained. Laws have been made regarding bicycles occupying the streets and it is does not usually go to their favor.
However, getting aid from the experts will surely bring more positive results. These are the persons that made takes on bicycle as their expertise and helps those who have gone through the hazards of others vehicles. Believing that even though it is just a bicycle, people still have their right to maximum claims.
Accidents happen when you least expect it. It doesn’t mean big and fast vehicles to be involved in this. It only takes two wheels.
