Bicycle Safety (1950)

[murrayw72]

the spokes are tight? why is he losening them then???

[startreking2007]

Someone needs to overlay the soundtrack from this video and put it on a Lucas Brunelle video.

[LargeFish]

Definitely! Shit would be so cash.

[micheals1992]

traveling at speed doesnt make you unstable... i find it makes you more stable

[micheals1992]

[videomix22]

[NOMeasureA2008]

Critical Mass needs to show this video to their thugs.

[theoriginalca7erham]

Sounds like they should.

[printer198]

[909512b]

[TheAlbinoLifeguards]

[TheAlbinoLifeguards]

[rennyminou]

People still act like idiots when riding bikes. I'm surprised there aren't more injuries in the US and Canada, actually.

Yes, bikers, stop signs and intersection rules apply to you too!

[Jeff7im]

DONT BE TELLIN ME!!!!!!!!

[keightdee]

[chameleonjersey]

Priceless....I love it

[chameleonjersey]

[nicolealexeii]

Damn, check out the pedal stroke on those kids.

[breptik1]

What useful video, mainly in todays times.

I see very much older people in traffic as they are riding as people in this video.

One of the best videos on youtube.

[JCHigginsSuperDeluxe]

Beautiful bicycles! Why can't they make products today like they used to?

[dboydjr]

No allowance raise for you, Johnny!!!

[towerdist]

Make sure you pull out your tools and crank every bolt on your bike before your ride it, every time you ride it so that your threads get stripped within a few weeks.

[towerdist]

Every time you ride your bike MAKE SURE THAT YOU TIGHTEN EVERY BOLT that way you'll be sure to strip the threads within a few weeks.

[drcracker91]

lmao, stupid old people.

8:42-8:59 rofl, what a fucking idiot.

7:08 actually bikes have the right of way. fucking old dumbass didnt stop at a stop sign lol

also going to fast is harder to control? no shit, but you have to do it lol. and nobody is going to tighten every spoke lmao! or anything of that shit

[xisitmex]

My bicycle mechanic looks at my bike every 1,000 miles.

[NipkowDisk]

Excellent film and I agree it is still relevant today. Great advice. Thanks for uploading this.

[asbaDoce]

Looks like taken from Borat's movie.

[premiumrider87]

i love these old instructional films

[jsharp1701]

Solid info all around. Still relevant. I might add side/spoke reflectors to the list of night gear. Outside of that, it's perfect.

[badboyberty]

Was this sponsored by Schwinn? Does anyone know why Schwinn went from being high quality, but slightly overengieered, bikes to heaps of crap that make even Huffy's look well built.

[itc217]

If you're curious about Schwinn, they went bankrupt in 2001 after buying GT, and Schwinn/GT was purchased at auction by Pacific cycles, who has been trying for the "Most lawsuits incurred from manufacturing carelessness" award since it was founded. So any Schwinn bought after 2001 isn't really a Schwinn at all, but rather a department store Pacific with a fallen giant's logo attached.

[MotherMoonie]

This was the beginning of the government running your life like you are a complete idiostic baffoon... LOL

[Jz88admin]

I find the message presented is still very relevant in today's situation.

Would be nice if there is a shorter, modern version for today's time poor audience.

[AviationMetalSmith]

That video was almost ten minutes long, it had good advice, without a word about helmets. All you hear today is "wear a helmet".

I like this video because it shows how not to get hit by a car, without wearing a helmet.

A helmet isn't going to help you iof you get squished under the wheels of a car.

You remember being a kid before the helmet was invented? Someone would always say "stay on the right side of the road". Today the one-liner is "wear a helmet".

[MariAnKenobi]

I do believe you're right AviationMetalSmith. And some Bicycle Messangers would do well to listen to that "Look out for the other fellow" message.

Also, I like that it mentions taking care of your bike. Most kids trash their bikes, then demand new ones.

I don't believe this video is outdated at all. Good manners, safety, and responsibility never go out of style.

[dexter12322222222222]

that is funny ... my bike is stolen 2day...lol...

[smartz100]

Gee, that bike was loose everywhere.

[jeremydmathers]

"You are the automobile driver of tomorrow."  yeah. right.

[SidiGenius]

every biking kid should see this

[henriquemaia]

Apart from the outdated style, some advices are still valid. Cool video :)

[Silvershieldz]

you would do well to listen and obey.

[remus92]

That was pretty damn funny

[sunnycuts]

jesus times have changed a bit :P

[goldslinger]

ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Interesting, though.
