Compared to only 818 people on bicycles were killed according to the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center.

The bike in question will be the Santa Cruz Nomad XE and the Trek Slash 9.8 I prefer the Trek Slash 9.8 for reasons I will explain. First the Santa Cruz Nomad XE’s Components. The components the true price raiser of a bike are the tools that help in shifting and braking. The company that
There was always a demand for trucks with the comfort of a passenger car, or a passenger car with the load capacity of a truck. In response to this demand Ford released the Ranchero in 1957. To compete with Ford’s Ranchero, Chevrolet created the El Camino whose first release occurred in 1959. Over the years, Chevy has made several modifications to the El Camino to improve performance and style. Since Chevy stopped producing the El Camino in 1987, it has become a collectible classic. This essay will focus on several of the engine and body modifications that were made between 1957 and 1987.
The operator she take a training If one is properly equipped and following the laws than it should be a safe ride. But with anything there is risk involved so to resolve this are we going to take cars off the road because people keep running into each other or band motorcycles because if they get hit there chance of survival is very small. No we have allowed all these items on are public roads because people are willing to take the risk every time one gets in there car and turns the key they are taking a risk not just for them but the ones that share the road with ‘‘ATVs are dangerous motorcycles are dangerous cars can be very dangerous but using the vehicle in a safe manner and proper education and training on how to maneuver the machine and using right speeds is key’’(bowman) as you can see from the reasoning above ATVs can and should be legalized on public roads. they are a more convenient way to get around and tour the state.
Millions of people all over the United States choose motorcycles over automobiles for the thrill, speed, and high performance capabilities. On the other hand, motorcycles are not at all the safest way of transportation. Motorcycles do not provide the passenger with the outer protection that cars provide, therefore, when one crashes, the results are usually much more serious. Injuries to the head are responsible for 76% of fatalities when dealing with motorcycle crashes many of which could have been prevented had the rider been wearing a helmet. For this reason, many states have adopted the motorcycle helmet law. The law states that every passengers must wear a helmet at all times when riding on a motorcycle. This law has created a great deal of controversy. One side supports the law, believing that it protects motorcyclists from danger and saves the economy a great deal of money. The other side argues that the law is unconstitutional and it violates our right to freedom. However, statistics show overwhelming support in favor of the motorcycle helmet law. Although wearing helmets cannot prevent motorcycle crashes, they can greatly reduce the number of deaths caused by head injury as well as lowering taxes, insurance rates, and health care costs. Therefore, the helmet law should be put into effect in every state across the United States.
Many by now know, the EV that redefined the genre was released to rave reviews. Consumer Reports said that it performed better than any other auto on their test track. Because of all the weight from the low mounted motors it was
There are many different automobile companies providing buyers with many styles of cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. Toronto Star January 14, 2005 present ways to approach the automotive buying process. There are many different surveys, crash reports, and rating systems comparing different companies and their vehicles. Things you should look for when reading these published articles are who conducted the study? Who paid for it? Who gains from it? Who loses? These are all things to keep eye on as some automotive companies will run their own surveys making their products seem overpowering against the competition. Some prove their products are safer then the competition where the competition has been proven time and time again to make that survey seem inaccurate.

This paper is being written to identify and provide demographic information on a population that has been through trauma and resiliency following motorcycle accidents. This population has been through some form of trauma whether they realize it or not. Some people deal with trauma differently. For example, many motorcyclists engage in drug and alcohol to feel most comfortable because they face traumatic situations on the road, daily. Many of the traumatic experiences are caused by automotive drivers. According to “Nolo” (2016), Crashes involving motorcycles and other vehicles account for fifty-six percent of motorcycle accident deaths. In the vast majority of these accidents, the car strikes the
II. According to the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, bicycle related crashes kill about 900 people a year and injure over half a million. Most bicycle deaths or accidents occur between 3-9 pm, and most often occur during the summer months. We can prevent these numbers by: wearing protective equipment, obeying the rules of the road, and being aware of your surroundings.
One of the very first things a buyer should consider when looking for a car is what kind of car he/she wants. Many different factors can affect the car buying process. For one, the buyer must consider how big of a vehicle he/she wants and safety features like airbags, seatbelts, and working brakes. Itemizing a list of accessories can also help narrow down what kind of car to buy. While some people might prefer a Sedan with a large back seat and seat warmers, others may prefer an extreme luxury car with full stereo systems and miniature televisions. Every person has different tastes in accessories; luckily, there is a vehicle that can fit almost every personality. Most new models have the latest technology installed, although some of the “newer” used cars have the option of adding in those accessories. Once the...
Many people are hurt each year racing “51,000 children ages 5 to 14 are hurt annually riding all-terrain vehicles, mopeds and minibikes” This is simply shocking due to the fact that this is only children, The number is so big for adults the number can only be estimated. Dirt bike racing breaks down into two categories enduro racing or endurance racing and motocross racing. Both kinds of racing provide thrill seeking experiences that many people live for, but everyone one of those people are taking a chance that can prove deadly. With the number of injuries that racers of all kinds face, racing proves to be one of the most brutal sports in the world.

Cuts, bruises and even broken bones will heal, but damage to your brain can last a lifetime. You can prevent possible injuries from unforeseen disasters such as smacking the street, sidewalk, curb, a car, tree or anything else around you by using safety precautions. In some cases, we are required to use safety measures, while in others we are merely advised. For instance, while driving an automobile, the law requires for all occupants in the vehicle to wear safety belts. The reason for this law is because without using such cautiousness, fatal accidents would be more frequent. In the same respects, safety should be required for bicycle and motorcycle riders. Various injuries from an accident can be prevented with the correct use of a helmet. The United States does not have any federal laws requiring bicycle helmets to be worn (“Bicycle Helmet Laws”). States and localities began adopting laws in 1987, but there is no formal central registry for helmets (“Bicycle Helmet Laws”). A total of twenty states have adopted laws, including the District of Columbia as a "state", and at least 135 local laws (“Bicycle Helmet Laws”). Seventeen states have no state or local helmet laws at all (“Bicycle Helmet Laws”). According to The Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, the state laws that require cyclists to wear helmets only end at the ages between fifteen and eighteen years old. As a result, children are required to wear a helmet, but it is not mandatory for adults to use these preventive measures, it is merely advised. Since accidents are inevitable, it is impossible to predict the outcome of a tragedy. Therefore, the law should include statutes that require all cyclists, regardless o...
Bicycles, the one way we got to move around as kids, and as adults it is the one way we get around too, because cars are mainstream. Safety is an issue when it comes to bicycling and that why the helmet is an important factor when it comes to safety for bikes. Every year, in the U.S, nearly 900 persons die from injuries due to bicycle crashes and over 500,000 persons are being treated in emergency departments. Head injuries are by far the greatest concern for bicyclists, causing one third of emergency department visits, two thirds of hospital admissions, and three fourths of deaths. There are other injuries such as facial injuries, which occur at a rate nearly the same to head injuries. It is hard to trust that helmets would be protective against head injury, but establishing the real effectiveness of helmets is important.
Luisa Loy Trinidad ENG 100 #0243108 Comparison and Contrast Modern cars and motorcycles are both by definition automobiles. An automobile is defined as a type of transportation mainly used to get the person to their destination rather than goods, it has its own engine and can carry from one to eight passengers but only to be used on the road and can have from two to four wheels. They can also differ from each other by the comfort in the vehicle and also the safety of the driver, but mainly the price range between a motorcycle and an automobile. Usually someone who isn’t trying to waste a huge amount of money on a vehicle can get a motorcycle for themselves. In 1884 the very first experimental motorcycle was a three wheeled bicycle called Butler Petrol Cycle which was built by Edward Butler in England, and was the first motorcycle designed in 1885 at the International Inventions Exhibition in London along with Karl Benz who designed and created the first automobile.
