Introduction

I've decided to start writing a regular series of short bike tips and safety information during this difficult time of social distancing measures due to the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020. Health professionals stress the need for outdoor exercise even now, especially now. Like other regular exercise, biking can help keep you healthy longer. I've been very happy to see many more people out on bikes than I usually see this early in the year!

I believe that biking is fun and reasonably safe, and I like to do what I can to encourage it. I imagine that some of you may be getting back to it as adults after some time away, or maybe have never biked very much before. Maybe you are a parent of a child just learning, or maybe even you yourself are just learning!

One thing I have decided to do to help others during this challenging time is offer some basic free bike help, if you have questions or concerns. Post them in the comments and I'll be happy to address them. For people local to Westbrook, Maine, USA, I’m offering some basic in-person service, with appropriate required social distancing and virus-safe bike cleaning. Please email me at johnbrooking4 @ gmail.com to inquire about these in-person services.


See my profile for more about my qualifications, or see my bicycling résumé.

Let's get out there and enjoy the ride (safely)!

This week, I'm taking a break from this blog's normal "helpful" content (I hope) to use this site to document a multi-day ride I did this week with my friend Cheryl Drda. We did this as a fund-raiser for our church, Westbrook-Warren Congregational Church/UCC in Westbrook, Maine. To Donate: Online at our GoFundMe page By check to Westbrook-Warren Congregational Church/UCC, 810 Main Street, Westbrook, ME, 04092. Write "bike ride" in the memo line.

Five Layers of Bike Safety: Tying it All Together

This will be my last post on this blog. It was conceived in the early stages of the Covid pandemic, April 2020, in response to seeing so many new people out on bikes, so early in the season (for Maine). The goal was to provide basic should-know information to people who may be taking up biking for the first time as adults, or in a long time, or ever. I hope that it  has accomplished that. I think that I have covered the basics now, and I'll wrap it all up with a concept known as the Five Layers of Bicycle Safety . This concept was developed by Dan Gutierrez , a bicycle safety educator in California. For this post, I will present each of his slides, with commentary by Mighk Wilson, another long-time bicycle educator, a transportation planner, lifelong cyclist, and co-creator of CyclingSavvy .  The Five Layers of Bicycle Safety In Dan's words, "The important talking point about this diagram is that the layers are cumulative and build upon each other, with the first 4 to elim...

Children and Bicycles

In the months since we went into shutdown mode, I have been noticing a wide variety of bicyclists passing by my house. While I write this blog mostly for adults, I'm mindful that, as always, lots of children are out there too, starting with the crew who live right across the street from me. If you have children in your life, or just in your neighborhood, you may be wondering about advice for them. So this week's post is about children. How Young is Too Young? Parents who are very into cycling themselves usually can't wait to get their babies on bikes, starting with a child trailer. Pediatricians caution that the baby needs to be old enough to hold their head up by themselves, while wearing a small helmet that fits them snugly. The baby must be strapped in. When you are towing a trailer, be aware of your wider turn radius, so that the trailer doesn't hop a curb or go over a grate or debris while turning. Riding in the street will provide a smoother ride than on the ...
