Drive Your Bike

From

(1954, the Sullivan Company. 10 minutes.)
This movie describes the basic principles of driving a bicycle as a vehicle in order to improve the safety of adolescent bicyclists and prepare them for safer motoring later. Archival footage supplied by archive.org. Edited for content.

And from
http://www.archive.org/details/DriveYou1955
Slow-moving bicycle safety film shot in Glendale and Burbank, California by a family-owned film production company. Encourages boys and girls to "drive their bicycles" and prepare for becoming automobile drivers by learning to practice the "rules of the road." Good views of the mid-1950s suburban Southern California landscape.

More people, whethre they ride a bike or drive a car, could really learn something from watching this.

I agree nyyterp. We need to educate people, starting at a young age, about bicycle safety. One time when I was riding on the street, an impatient driver yelled at me, "Ride on the sidewalk!" Also, many bicyclists ride against traffic, which is just as unsafe as riding on sidewalks. Educating kids in school can go a long way.

It's a swell video. Amazing that NO ONE today follows the most basic traffic rules, bicycle or not. My pet peeve: bicyclists that use sidewalks (a major no-no!) as their personal road, where there are always pedestrians.
