Bicycle Safety then and now

Check out these cycling safety videos 

from 1950

from 1963

Ken Steinhoff wrote about some printed material about bicycle safety from the same era. He had a follow-up piece too.

Compare the older videos to this more modern piece aimed at kids.

Unfortunately most cycling safety pieces today concentrate on wearing a helmet only. This one rhymes and is pretty funny.  Another one. There is something to be learned from the earlier pieces that teach signals, intersections, proper place to ride in the road, and more.
