Persuasive Essay On Bicycle Accidents

“Imagine one day waking up to find that your car had been stolen”, Taylor once said, she believes that a bike for a lot of people is no different from any other transportation that a person may rely on. Stating her solution, she suggests posting signs that simply say that the act is against the law and punishable. This would be as an inexpensive way to help. Other solutions were; possibly starting an awareness program or even strategically placing cameras where they have a clear view of the bike racks. I think that Taylor presents an excellent idea. The seriousness and dedication she displays causes me to open my eyes and pay attention to ways I may be able to help make my school campus a better place.

All 50 states prohibit 16-year-olds from drinking alcohol, buying cigarettes, and purchasing handguns. Yet somehow, most states are willing to put them in charge of a car. Teens don’t realize how dangerous driving can be; they believe nothing could ever happen to them. In reality, facts show that driving is the number one killer of teens. At 16 or 17, you may feel invincible, but with a lack of driving experience and distractions such as cell phones, music, food, and even friends, driving can be a dangerous activity. The problem is that teens don’t see certain actions as a life threatening risk. In a recent study, only 28 percent said using a cell phone is a risk while driving, ten percent said the same about having other teens in the car,

Have you ever been to a dirt track race? If not than I will show you the basics. Dirt track race tracks are clay ovals that are ⅕ mile to ½ mile tracks that have a 10 degree to 20 plus degree banks on turns. You have over 9 divisions to choose from including modified and super late model. An average race will last about 10-20 minutes but can't go past 35 otherwise they stop the race and whoever's leading wins. Usually features are around 20 laps but some specials can go all the way to 100 laps.

Studies show, by law a player must sign off by a medical professional before the player can return to the field. Studies also show, concussions and or head head injuries are linked to permanent brain damage. The question frequently asked is "should injured athletes be required to sit out for periods of time to allow time for the brain to heal completely?" As an athlete, I think athletes should wait. Only because if a player gets one concussion and goes back to their sports and gets hit in the head, that could lead to permanent damage for not giving the brain time to heal from the previous injury.

It was proposed to me that we murder every one of the numb nuts who drink and drive, yet I felt this was excessively cruel . For what reason not let them murder themselves? The country, overall, would be more lovely, more joyful and more happy in the event that they ended their life so we wouldn't have to.

For a lot of us, we’ve lost sight of this innate need to explore the unexplored. As work, school, family, social life and everything else that drives our days continues to pull us in every direction, it’s hard to remember the last time we were able to experience something so pure. For Jimmy, he’s managed to marry these stresses into his pride and joy, the Boise Bicycle Project. As Boise’s community-oriented, non-profit promoting the personal, social and environmental benefits of bicycling, BBP functions as “a bicycle recycling center as well as an educational workspace in a diverse and non-threatening atmosphere. Through education and access to affordable refurbished bicycles BBP strives to build a stronger bicycling community.”

Likewise, bike theft is a huge problem for many metropolitan cities in the U.S.. Literature to support this claim is the 2015 Crime Prevention Program in Portland, Oregon. “Thousands of bicycles are stolen in the City of Portland each year… Places with high concentrations of parked bicycles such as college campuses are especially vulnerable to theft” (Office of Neighborhood Involvement Crime Prevention Program, Bicycle Theft Prevention, 2015). This article also identifies many preventative techniques to make a bike harder to steal; for example, “Proactively register your bike and include its serial number and photos with the bike registration services bikeindex.org and project529.com” (2015). Moving on, it is imperative to attack any problem

My best friend will likely be the death of me, but I still love her. I have known her for three years and would trust her with anything, or so I thought. Everything changed the moment she got her license. Suddenly the need for coffee was completely eliminated, and all I had to do was ride to school with her. Through many close encounters and two accidents so far, I have learned the definition of a terrible driver. Every ride with her is an adventure involving skipped stop signs, speeding, and near collisions. She is the reason why many adults believe that teenagers should not their license because of poor driving.

For many, life out on the road is a way for individuals to experience freedom away from society. When experiencing freedom, it brings happiness to some and creates a fascinating appeal towards what life can potentially be on the road. This idealistic venture is seen in Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, narrating the journey of a privileged young adult named Chris McCandless. Krakauer guides the reader through the journey of McCandless of why and how left his old, but very comfortable life for an unpredictable one, by traveling to Alaska and living off its land. While many believe life on the road is a source of finding happiness, it is not an effective way to solve one’s problem; therefore, one should not live life on the road.

I lost a relative in a car crash. Can you imagine how I felt when I found out? He wasn’t wearing his seatbelt and was thrown off the road through the windshield. Car companies should start making cars that require everybody in the vehicle buckled up or else the car won’t start. Wearing a seatbelt reduces the chances of injury, also the law requires you to wear a seatbelt.

Bicycle consumers evaluate bicycles for their technology to include low weight, durable, stylish, and performance. Consumers are also concerned about price and service. Also the demographic of peer ownership will influence consumer purchasing criteria. Clearly the college in Colorado had a few select brands. Some manufacturers are fortunate to capture these traits within their brand. Trek has successfully secured 24% of the market and is a respected brand.

Throwing garbage on a daily basis is a part of the human nature. Every year, one average person generates double amounts of waste than they buy and recycles about 20% of the total waste which leads the other 80% of the waste in a landfill or in the ocean, making the earth an unlivable place. All these wastes have a negative impact on the ecosystem and climate change through releasing excess greenhouse gas, thickening the atmosphere. Therefore, it’s necessary to take action on this contemporary issue while keeping the human needs in mind such as saving money or containing better quality products. According our research, to meet all these human needs while solving the issue of the climate change, upcycling is the only solution. Upcycling is a process of turning waste materials or futile products to a better quality which can be helpful to humans, increase the environmental values and at the same time, decrease the level of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. However, to some people, upcycling is seen as a weak concept, but it is a very effective technique which can beat the method of recycling to stop the climate change.

These days, bicycles are becoming an increasingly popular form of transportation on many United States college campuses. College students across the nation seem to have found considerable value in using bikes to get from point A to point B on campus. However, once their bike has a flat tire or loose handlebars, it becomes inconvenient to ride anymore without properly fixing their bike. The issue is that if something happens on campus and they do not have the ability to fix their bike, it requires them to go out to a bike shop or such to buy the necessary tools. College students do not bring repair tools with them from home because that is not something you think about packing when moving into a new room with limited space. There are students who do not have the extra cash to spare on buying repair tools and some students do not have any other form of transportation besides their bike. I believe that if Kansas State University allowed bike repair stations to be placed near the Student Union, Hale Library, and Derby Residence Halls area, it can help encourage more students to ride their bikes on campus. Without them fearing of what to do if their bike breaks down and reduce the number of forgotten bicycles on bike racks throughout campus.
