Want to see more kids having a great time learning about bikes? Volunteer sometime for a community ride. On the final day of Bike Safety, the whole class goes on a 45 minute ride in the neighborhood. It is a great way to play a significant part in teaching the joy of biking to the next generation!
There’s *really* only (3) rules for safe driving:
1. Be Seen.
2. Be Predictable
3. Be legal.
That’s all folks.
It’s Hillel, revise:
A man once came to Shammai and asked him to teach Torah while he stood on one leg. Shammai, noted for his temper, told him to get lost. The man then went to Hillel, asking the same question.
‘Do not do unto others as you would not wish to be done by,’ replied Hillel to the man on one leg. ‘That is the whole of the Torah. All the rest is commentary. Now go and study.’
