A word from the cityI am excited to say that St. John’s is Canada’s

newest cycle-friendly city!

We have put this Handbook together so you can

learn more about how to have fun and stay safe

while riding your bicycle in the City of St. John’s.

In this book you’ll learn more about your bicycle

and the rules of the road. We want you to enjoy the outdoors, our bicycle

trails and our residential City streets, but even more we want you to be

safe. We hope that the safe cycling facts you learn in this book will help

you be a safe cyclist for life!

Parents, we encourage you to use this resource as an opportunity to talk

to your children about safe cycling practices. Become a “Bike Buddy” for

your child.

I look forward to seeing you riding your bikes, and remember to wear

your helmet and enjoy the ride!

Mayor Dennis O’Keefe

The cycling committee and I have been hard at

work making the City of St. John’s Cycling Master

Plan a reality and we hope you and your parents

can use this Handbook to talk about safe cycling.

What does our master plan mean for you?

It means that you now have wonderful trails

to enjoy on your bike and everyone in the City can learn more about safe

cycling and sharing the roads. We are very proud of our new Handbook:

“My Bike and Me: A Young Cyclist’s Handbook”. In it you will learn

how to stay safe on residential City streets and have fun on your bicycle.

Cycling is a great environmentally friendly way to stay active and healthy,

while enjoying the beautiful City we are all proud to call home.

Happy and Safe Cycling to you All!

Deputy Mayor Shannie Duff

Chair - Cycling Master Plan Committee

To our Young Cyclists,We’ve made this Handbook fun and interesting especially for you. It’s filled with

all kinds of information, activities, and tips on how to cycle more confidently and more

safely. Read this Handbook and try the activities with an older cyclist - make them

your Bike Buddy.

To the Adults in the lives of our Young Cyclists,This Handbook introduces kids to safe cycling. The importance of the material lays

in how the child is guided to understanding cycling safety and, subsequently, developing

the traffic ‘common sense’ that we, as adults, take for granted. We’d like you to become

a Bike Buddy, a mentor and role model to guide children through the activities in this

Handbook. Please take the time to do the exercises together, discuss the importance of

each topic and make it fun. You can find out more about safe cycling in the companion

Handbook “Getting Around St. John’s: A Cyclist’s Handbook.” The many

suggestions in this Handbook have been simplified to present the essence of safe

cycling development. An excellent way to advance the cycling skills of the children in

your care is to enrol them in a Kids CAN-BIKE course offered through the Department

of Recreation (see inside back cover).

Every few rides or at least weekly:Lever Brake pads: not too worn or crooked.

Pedals: Push towards and away from bike to checkfor wobble. Pedals should spin freely.

Wheels wobble free? Spin to see if the wheel is straight and doesn’t wobble side to side. Look for broken spokes.

Tire wear: treads and sidewallsnot overly worn?

Cables: Visual check for wear and fraying.

Bikes need at least

annual maintenance.

To maintain your own

bike, consider taking a

course, searching the

internet, reading a

book, or shadowing a

knowledgeable cyclist.

Check your bike before every ride:Lever Brakes:Lever Brakes: Squeeze the brake

levers and try to move the bike. If the wheels can still turn you need to get the brakes fixed. Tires:Tires: Squeeze sides of tires

between thumb and finger. Pump it up if soft.

QQuick Releases: uick Releases: If you have levers

on your wheels, check them to make sure they are tight. Rotate to tighten.

SSound:ound: Shake, rattle and roll your bike, listen for unusual sounds.Chain:hain: Lubricate as needed

to reduce wear on gears.

Bike Check

Read tire sidewall

for recommended

air pressure.

Wearing a helmet is plain smart. Our brains are made of fragile tissue.One blow to the head can result in death or permanent brain damage.

7


Your skull doesn’t absorb much impact.

Your helmet does. • Two fingers width

between eyebrows and helmet.

• Side straps joinjust below ear.

• Straps lie flat.

• Chin strap snug:one finger max.

Wear helmet level front to back and

side to side.

Because Bike Buddy is a model cyclist he wears all the appropriate clothing and accessories.

• Be visible! Bright colours are better than dark.

• Runners are better than sandals or flip flops; remember to tuck in your laces.

• Gloves and glasses are good.

• At night, reflectors on your jacket, pants and runners make you more visible.Ankle strap reflectors are awesome.

8


How to Choose a Bicycle HelmetBike Buddy says…

• Choose a helmet that is a little larger than your head and adjust sizing pads to give the helmet a snug fit.

• Always get a new helmet - used helmets may have hidden defects.

• Light coloured helmets stay cooler and are more visible in traffic.

• Make sure it’s certified - check for the sticker inside.

Wearing a bike helmet makes good sense and it’s the law!

Do You Know Your Road Signs? Helpful SignsRiding on streets is different from playing in yardsand playgrounds. The people in cars need to knowwhat the people on bicycles are going to do.Bicyclists have to obey signs just like the peopledriving cars, trucks and buses. When everyoneobeys what the signs mean, then everybody sharesthe road safely.

Activity: Draw a line between the sign and its name.

To see if your answers are correct go to page 24.

How to Choose a Bike Choosing a bike requires you know a few things ahead of time:

1.For what are you mostly going to use your bike? (E.g. going to and from school, trail riding, racing)

2.Does the bike fit?

Bike FitBMX frame size

• Sit on the seat and grab the handlebars - you shouldn’t feel stretched out.

Mountain & road bike frame size.• Standing up, with your legs on either side

of the top tube there should be about a half fist of space between the top tube and your crotch.

• Sit on the bike seat. You should be able to touch the ground with your feet.

If you can’t, lower your seat.

TIP from Bike BuddyChoose a bike that is adjustable so

you can grow into it. Ask the staff at

the shop to show you how to adjust

the height of the seat and handlebars.

Activity: Match the words on the bottom with a part of the bike.

11


Know Your Bike

• Brake lever

• Bottom bracket (hint: many tubes meet there)

• Chain

• Chain ring (hint: it has teeth)

• Crank arm

• Gear shifter

• Cog set/Freewheel (hint: it has teeth)

• Front derailleur

• Front fork

• Rear derailleur

• Seat stay (hint: it’s a tube)

• Seat post

• Top tube

To see if your answers are correct go to page 24.

Practice in a safe placeBike Buddy says find a flat, paved,

car and hazard-free parking lot

with a painted straight line (or

use chalk to draw a straight line

on the pavement).

Tip: start exercises seated with

both feet flat on the ground.

12


Better Bicycling is as Easy asYou know how to ride but do you really know how to ride well? Here are some handling skills you can start practicing.Have fun and get the adults involved too!

When you ride in a straight line it shows other road users that you are in control.

Practice your Straight Line Riding• Put your bike in an easy gear.

See Gearing on page 15.

• Practice riding on a straight line making sure you look ahead to where you are going.

• Try different speeds. The slower you go the harder it is. How slow can you go?

Straight LineRiding

13


Looking behind you without wobbly riding will work wonderswhen you need to know if the way is clear.

Practice your Shoulder Check• Practice at first without riding. Sitting down

with both feet on the ground and your hands on the handlebars, look over both your shoulders to see what is behind you.

• Practice until your handlebars hardly move.

• Now trying it while pedalling. Shoulder check while riding on a painted line away from a bicycling buddy.

• Note to Bike Buddy: They look BUT do they see? From behind the cyclist, hold up one or both hands and ask how many hands they see.

ShoulderChecking

Left Turn - Left arm outFingers somewhat apartPalm back

Right Turn- Left arm out and upFingers somewhat apartCrisp 90 degree angle

Stop and/or Slow down- Left arm out and down, Fingers somewhat apartPalm back, Crisp 90 degree angle

14


Do you know you can let others know what you want to do using hand signals?

HandSignals

Putting it all together is as easy as

• With your Bike Buddy watching

– Show them shoulder checks while riding a straight line.

– Then show them all the hand signals while riding a straight line.

– Finally show off your ability to shoulder check and then signal while riding a straight line.

How to practice hand signals • Practice your hand signals at home. Show your friends

and family. Hold each signal at least 2 seconds.

• Practice in your driveway while standing over your bike with both feet on the ground.

• Practice taking one hand off the handlebars while riding.

• Practice while riding on a straight line - can you signal without wobbly riding?

• You may wish to practise the increasingly popular alternative right turn hand signal - extend the right arm horizontally.

If your bike has gears, use them to keep your legs moving at the same pace.

1. Before going uphill, shift to an easier gear so it’s easy to keep going.

2. Before stopping, shift to an easier gear so it’s easy to getting going again.

15


Gearingand

Stopping

Bike Buddy knows that sometimes you need to stopreal fast, other times just to slow down. Here’s how:

• If you have two brakes, use both.

• Apply equal front and rear. If you use too much front you could go flying over your handlebars.

• Don’t brake and turn at the same time.

• It takes longer to stop when it’s wet.

• Your Bike Buddy can teach you how to make adjustments to your brakes so that they work well every time you may need them.

The easiest gear is

when the chain is

closest to the bike

– front and back.

16


1. I ride on the right, in the same direction as other traffic.

2. Before I make a turn I check ahead and behind me over my shoulder.

3. I let drivers know what I am doing by signalling my turns and stops.

4. I don't follow others through traffic. I make my own decisions.

5. When riding, I stay off sidewalks. Sidewalks are for walking.

6. I don't ride in crosswalks; I get off my bike and walk.

7. I ride in a straight line and don't weave between parked cars.

8. I stop at all stop signs and red lights.

Answer Yes, No or Sometimes to the following questions:

- Are you riding safely?

Getting Street Smart Cyclists need to share the road with drivers. Make it easy for drivers

to see you and give you safety room. Ride predictably so drivers can

figure out where you are going and help you get there safely.

If you have answered YES to all of these then you’ve got Street Smarts.

If you’ve answered NO or Sometimes to any questions ask your Bike Buddy

if you are doing the right thing.

Cycling is fun. But let’s remember roads are notplaygrounds, and bikes are not toys.

Safe cycling is about making smart decisions.

Let’s go on the road and I’ll show you why.

Bike Buddy asks see the cyclist who stopped

at the stop sign? Smart move. Then he checked

if the road was clear. Imagine what would’ve

happened, if he didn’t.

Always stop at a stop sign or red light. Put both feet down. Then scan left, scan right, then scan left again.Things happen fast in traffic.Go when it is safe.

Ride in the same direction as traffic.

Bike Buddy says look! That cyclist is riding in

the opposite direction as the traffic. Drivers don’t

know what to expect from that cyclist. This is

dangerous to both the cyclist and the drivers.

Always shoulder check before you move across the roadway - then signal - and then do a second shouldercheck to make sure that the way is still clear.

Bike Buddy says let’s watch a predictable

cyclist. She is doing a shoulder check, a signal,

and then a shoulder check again before moving

into traffic. That cyclist has the sequence. Drivers

know what she wants to do, and she won’t

move in front of a car. 17


On the Road...

18


Bike Buddy asks see the unpredictable cyclist

riding off of the sidewalk in front of the car

waiting at the stop sign? Wow! That cyclist nearly

got creamed! Why? Because drivers don’t expect

cyclists to be riding illegally on the sidewalk.

Walk your bike on crosswalks. Do not ride on the sidewalk or in crosswalks.It’s dangerous and against the law.

Don’t ride on the sidewalk - everydriveway is an intersection. There’s goodreasons it’s against the law to ride yourbike on the sidewalk in St. John’s.

Bike Buddy says there’s another cyclist riding

on the sidewalk. LOOK! There’s a car backing

out! Every driveway can have a car coming in

or out. And pedestrians can move in front of

cyclists too.

Make the choice: Stay well clear of trucksand buses.

Bike Buddy says look there is a truck, and a

cyclist keeping a good distance away. Wise move!

Large vehicles have large blind spots. Their drivers

can’t hear bike bells either. Cyclists loose every

time when too close to a truck or bus.

If you’re riding with friends or a group, be street smart. Beware of what’s around you, and make your own choices. Theperson in front of you might not be making the right decision.

On the Road...

Be like a hawk watching everything that is happening around you.

Plan what you are going to do. Keep your eyes up for:

• Rocks, pot holes, slippery grates.• Cars coming out of driveways,

side streets and lanes.• Cars turning in front of you.• Opening parked car doors.

Generally speaking, on slower speed residential streets, ride aboutone metre (the width of a car door) from parked cars or the edgeof the road. Motorists behind can see you, and you are far enoughaway to not hit a parked car door.

19


1. Whenever you are on your bike,wear your helmet.2. Mount and dismount your bike on the curb side of the street.

3. When leaving a driveway, stop with both feet on the ground.Scan the sidewalk and road for pedestrians, motorists and other cyclists. Look left, right and left again.

4. Use caution at intersections - it’s where most collisions occur.5. Ride on the right side of the road.Chain side of bike is closest to the curb.

6. Don’t ride with earphones- you need to hear traffic and people.7. Don’t ride on busy streets and not at night, especially without lights and reflectors.

Look out for these cool features as part of the Bike St. John’s Network:

Signed On-Street Route

Perhaps a good way to get around with your Bike Buddy.

Bike Lanes

Bike lanes are designated road space for the exclusive

use of cyclists. Ride in the same direction as other traffic.

Where there are parked vehicles on the right, keep to

the left in the bike lane to avoid car doors and emerging pedestrians.

It takes only a few seconds for someone to steal your bike. Don’t let it happento you. Lock it up every time, even if you think you’ll be right back.

20


Lock Your Bike!

• Remove quick release seat and accessories (lights, reflectors, tools, etc.) that are easy to steal.

• Place the lock through either of the bike frame triangles and lock to a bike rack or post. If you have quick release,remove the front wheel so you can lock it together with the rest of the bike.

• Lock up in well-lit busy areas with other bikes nearby.

Take a picture of your bike and write down the bike serial number.

Boy: Today I want to go on one of the City Trails?

Bike Buddy: Sure. First, let’s just check with your parents or guardians. Bikes are permitted on the T’Railway and part of the Grand Concourse has been designed for bikes. Theyknow how to check with the Grand Concourse Authorityto find out which of their trails permit bikes.

Boy: Cool!

Bike Buddy: Grab some water and a snack to keep us hydrated and energized. This is a great multi-use trail.Remember to ride on the right except when we are passing people.

Boy: …and we ring our bells or call out to let them know we’re coming, right?

Bike Buddy: Right!

Boy: …and we always ride slower around people and pets and never off the trail!

Bike Buddy: That’s right! Do you remember why we don’t ride off the trail?

Boy: Sure. Riding off trail kills plants, widens and erodes the trail, especially when it’s wet.

Bike Buddy: Right on! This trail will be fun forever - let’s ride!

21


City Trail Riding

Question: That means I better follow the laws because I don’t want to get

stopped by the RNC. I have to wear a helmet too right?

Bike Buddy: Yes, the St. John’s Bicycle Helmet By-Law says you must wear a bicycle helmet,

and that parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring children up to 12 years old wear

their helmet. (No 1332) (2)(a)&(3)

Question: There are a lot of rules aren’t there?

Bike Buddy: The rules are to keep people safe, so, no sidewalk riding, always ride single file

with friends and don’t give your friends a ride on your bike. (All HTA 129(2)) There are

a lot more rules than that.

Question: Like the thing about the bike lights?

Bike Buddy: Right, if you are riding a half hour before sunset to a half hour after sunrise,

you need a front white light, and a rear red light or rear red reflector on your bike. Naturally

you need a brake on your bike that works. (Fines: HTA 208. Consolidated NL Regulation 1007/96

Licensing and Equipment Regulations under the HTA (O.C. 96-211) Sections 22 & 25(11))

22


Laws are here to help everyone who uses the road, including you.

Know Your Laws

Did you know that “a person riding a bicycle upon a highway has the same rights and duties as a driver”? That means that laws likestopping, turning, and other rules apply to cyclists. It also meanscyclists can get fined.(Newfoundland and Labrador Highway Traffic Act (HTA) Section 129(1))

You know cycling is fun and great for your body and mind. But did you know cycling is great for the Earth?

Global warming refers to the warming of the Earth through the accumulation

of gases produced by burning fossil fuels like gasoline. The term “carbon

footprint” refers to the impact a person or organization has on the

environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced.

Cycling, like driving, is a form of transportation. Cars are a major source of carbon

emissions, which scientists believe contribute to global warming. Unlike driving,

cycling does not produce carbon emissions. Cycling helps reduce those emissions.

Let’s look at about how many kilograms of carbon dioxide/CO2

(a major greenhouse gas) are produced for 10 km travelled:

•3 kg of CO2 by Plane •2 kg of CO2 by Car •1 kg of CO2 by Bus

•0 kg of CO2 by Bike •0 kg of CO2 on Foot

Riding to school or to fun places like parks, soccer games, or farmers’ markets

is a great way to reduce your family’s carbon footprint.

Why not check out some of the greenhouse gas calculators on the internet?

courses for adults who have never ridden bikes, for children learning to ride on the

road, for adults riding on residential roads and bike paths, for rural cycling, and

advanced skill development for riding in all traffic conditions.

Individuals who do well in the advanced level course (CAN-BIKE 2) are eligible for the

CAN-BIKE instructor workshop where, based on their performance, they can become

a certified CAN-BIKE instructor.

To maintain national standards, CAN-BIKE instructors must be highly skilled cyclists,

have excellent risk management skills, know how to teach children and adults on the

road and in classrooms, and be an advocate for cycling safety in their communities.

About CAN-BIKE

A Kids CAN-BIKE course is a great way to advance your skills so that you can ride more safely and more

confidently in your neighbourhood along with other 9-13 years old kids who already know how to ride their bikes.

In the course, you’ll take the next step beyond this Handbook.

You’ll learn by practicing handling skills on a practice pad, and by riding on residential streets (e.g. right

and left turns, pedestrians and crosswalks, intersections, parked cars, riding in a group, etc).

Through discussions in class, you’ll learn bike thinking skills (making good decisions), how to be more

street smart on your bike, and more about your bike.

Upon completion, participants receive

a CAN-BIKE certificate card.

Where to Learn More:Kids CAN-BIKE Safe Cycling Courses

CAN-BIKE is Canada’s only national safe cycling education program. CAN-BIKE

courses empower cyclists to ride more confidently and more safely. The Canadian
