Ukuphepha kwebhayisikili

Amadolobha nezifundazwe eziningi zinemizila yamabhayisikili nemithetho evikela abagibeli bamabhayisikili. Kodwa abagibeli basengcupheni yokushayiswa yizimoto. Ngakho-ke, udinga ukugibela ngokucophelela, ulalele imithetho, futhi ubheke ezinye izimoto. Hlala ulungele ukumisa noma uthathe isenzo sokugwema.

Ngenkathi ugibela ibhayisikili lakho:

• Buka ukuvula iminyango yemoto, imigodi yemigodi, izingane nezilwane ezingase zigijime phambi kwakho.
• UNGAYIFAKI i-headphone noma ukhulume kumakhalekhukhwini wakho.
• Qagela futhi ugibele ngokuzivikela. Gibela lapho abashayeli bezokubona khona. Amabhayisikili avame ukushaywa ngoba abashayeli bebengazi ukuthi amabhayisikili abekhona.
• Gqoka izingubo ezinemibala egqamile ukuze abashayeli bakwazi ukukubona kalula.

Thobela imithetho yomgwaqo.

• Gibela ohlangothini olufanayo lomgwaqo nezimoto.
• Ezimpambanweni zemigwaqo, ima lapho kumiswa khona izimoto futhi uthobele amarobhothi njengoba kwenza izimoto.
• Bheka ithrafikhi ngaphambi kokujika.
• Sebenzisa amasiginali wesandla noma engalo afanele.
• Misa kuqala ngaphambi kokugibela emgwaqweni.
• Yazi umthetho edolobheni lakho mayelana nokugibela eceleni komgwaqo. Emadolobheni amaningi, abagibeli bamabhayisikili abaneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-10 kumele bagibele emgwaqweni. Uma kumele ube sendleleni, hamba ibhayisikili lakho.

Ingqondo ibuthakathaka futhi ilimala kalula. Ngisho nokuwa okulula kungadala ukulimala kobuchopho okungakushiya nezinkinga zokuphila kwakho konke.

Lapho ugibela ibhayisikili, wonke umuntu, kufaka phakathi nabantu abadala, kufanele afake izigqoko zokuzivikela. Gqoka isigqoko sakho ngendlela efanele:

• Amabhande kufanele akhonjwe ngaphansi kwesilevu sakho ukuze isigqoko sokuzivikela singazungezi ikhanda lakho. Isigqoko sokuzivikela endizayo ngeke sivikele wena noma ingane yakho.
• Isigqoko sokuzivikela kufanele simboze isiphongo sakho bese sikhomba phambili ngqo.
• UNGAGQOKI izigqoko ngaphansi kwesigqoko sokuzivikela.

Isitolo sakho sezimpahla zezemidlalo, indawo yezemidlalo, noma isitolo sebhayisikili singasiza ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi isigqoko sakho silingana kahle. Ungaxhumana futhi ne-American League of Bicyclists.

Ukuphonsa izigqoko zokuhamba ngebhayisikili kungabalimaza. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, ngeke bakuvikele nawe. Yazi ukuthi izigqoko zokuzivikela ezindala, ezidluliselwe kwabanye, kungenzeka zingakakuvikeli.

Uma uhamba ebusuku, zama ukuhlala emigwaqeni ejwayelekile futhi ekhanyayo.

Imishini elandelayo, edingekayo kwezinye izifundazwe, izokugcina uphephe kakhulu:

• Isibani sangaphambili esikhanyisa ukukhanya okumhlophe futhi siyabonakala ebangeni elingamamitha angama-91
• Isibonisi esibomvu esingabonakala ngemuva ngebanga elingamamitha ayi-152
• Izimpawu ezikhonjwayo kunyawo ngalinye, noma ezicathulweni noma emaqakaleni zebhayisikili, ezingabonakala kumamitha angama-61
• Izembatho ezibonakalayo, itheyiphu, noma amabala

Ukuba nezinsana ezihlalweni zebhayisikili kwenza ibhayisikili libe nzima ukuphatha futhi kube nzima ukuliyeka. Izingozi ezenzeka nganoma yisiphi isivinini zingalimaza ingane encane.

Ukulandela eminye imithetho elula kungasiza ukugcina wena nengane yakho niphephile.

• Hamba ezindleleni zamabhayisikili, ezindleleni, nasemigwaqweni ethule engenamgwaqo omningi.
• UNGAPHATHI izingane ezingaphansi kwezinyanga eziyi-12 ngebhayisikili.
• Izingane ezindala akufanele zithwale izinsana ngebhayisikili.

Ukuze ikwazi ukugibela esihlalweni sebhayisikili esifakwe ngemuva noma kumahamba-nendlwana wengane, ingane kufanele ikwazi ukuhlala ngaphandle kokwesekwa ngenkathi igqoke isigqoko sokuzivikela esincane.

Izihlalo ezifakwe ngemuva kufanele zinanyathiselwe ngokuphepha, zibe nonogada abakhulumayo, futhi zibe nomhlane ophakeme. Kudingeka ibhande lamahlombe nebhande lasemathangeni.

Izingane ezincane kufanele zisebenzise amabhayisikili anama-coaster brakes. Lezi yizinhlobo ezazihlephula lapho unyathela emuva. Ngamabhuleki ezandla, izandla zengane kufanele zibe nkulu ngokwanele futhi ziqine ngokwanele ukucindezela izigaxa.

Qiniseka ukuthi amabhayisikili awusayizi ofanele, kunokuba abe ngosayizi "ingane yakho ingakhula ibe yikhona." Ingane yakho kufanele ikwazi ukugoqa ibhayisikili ngezinyawo zombili phansi. Izingane azikwazi ukuphatha amabhayisikili amakhulu futhi zisengozini yokuwa nezinye izingozi.

Ngisho nalapho begibela ezindleleni zomgwaqo, izingane kudingeka zifunde ukubheka izimoto eziphuma emigwaqeni nasezitaladini. Futhi, fundisa izingane ukubheka amaqabunga amanzi, amatshe, namajika.

Qiniseka ukuthi ingane yakho iyaqaphela ngokugcina imilenze yamabhulukwe evulekile, imichilo, noma izintambo zezicathulo ukuba zingabanjwa okhulumela isondo noma uchungechunge lwamabhayisikili. Fundisa ingane yakho ukuthi ingalokothi igibele izicathulo, noma igqoke izimbadada noma ama-flip-flops.
