8 . More people are increasingly biking to commute (上下班往返), for exercise, or just for fun. Bicyclists should observe bicycle safety rules to help reduce deaths and injuries on the road.
Wear a helmetsEvery bike ride begins with putting on a helmet. Your helmet can best protect you. For the most comprehensive list of helmet sizes according to manufacturers, click here to visit the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute (BHSI) website.
Avoid crashesThere are two main types of crashes: the most common (falls) , and the most serious (the ones with cars). Regardless of the reasons for the crash, prevention is the key point.
Be alert (警惕的)Be alert to the road and all traffic around you; anticipate what others may do before they do it. This is defensive driving — the quicker you notice a potential conflict, the quicker you can act to avoid a potential crash.
Pay attention to road signs and road conditionsObey street signs, signals, and road markings, just like a car. Look ahead for risks or situations to avoid what may cause you to fall, like potholes (坑洼) and train tracks. No texting, listening to music or using anything that distracts you by taking your eyes and ears or your mind off the road and traffic.
Ride in the same direction as trafficThis way, if the sidewalk ends, you are already riding with the flow of traffic. If crossing a street, motorists will look left, right, left for traffic. When you are to the driver’s left, the driver is more likely to see you. Slow and look for traffic (left — right — left and behind) when crossing a street from a sidewalk; be prepared to stop and follow the pedestrian signals.

Everything was perfect. I boarded my flight at 12: 35 a.m. at the Atlanta Airport as planned, and my dad was going to wait for me at the gate in Omaha at 3: 00 a.m. As I got to my seat in the back of the plane, I thought I would finally make it home that night. Just as I got comfortable, the flight attendant announced that this flight to Omaha, Nebraska, had been cancelled.
I had never had a flight cancelled before. I just had one delayed. At that time, I was with my father. Our flight was scheduled to leave at around 7: 30 p.m., but it was moved to 11: 20 p.m. My dad told me to sit on a chair while he figured it out. At the time I thought nothing was different because my dad had always taken the lead in these situations.
As I walked off the just cancelled flight, I took out my phone to call my dad. He was speechless and could do nothing because he was not with his 14-year-old daughter. He could only tell me to try my best to get on the first flight home.
I decided to walk to the desk to reschedule my flight, only to find that many other flights had also been cancelled that night. The line was so long. When I was settled in my place in line, I decided to check my phone: 1: 31 a.m. After around two hours of meeting new people and sharing our life stories, the line barely moved. We spent the night complaining. All of a sudden, it was 6: 15 in the morning and we had made it to the front of the line!
Right about now was when I wished I would have listened to what my dad had told me. I thought back hard and remembered him being very respectful to people and asking as many questions as he could. He finally got the tickets we needed.
