Bicycle safety

It turns out that when it comes to safety, bicycles and cars have something in common. The bicycles usually crash with cars. You may not think so, if you ride in a park, but remember, I am talking about transportation, not for fun.

When you travel by bike, you take the same roads as cars, but just to the side of the road for safety. Therefore, most of the accidents would be with cars. Of course, you are more likely to be damaged on a bike then in a car. So safety might be an issue when using a bicycle as a good form of transport.

Learning Journal Guide

Your journal is the ongoing record of all the work you do throughout you inquiry. You should be writing reflections that comment on the process and the progress that you are making as an individual and as a team.

Each entry in your journal should include the following:

1. Description of what happened at the mentor meeting (if you had one that day)

2. Record goals/objectives for the upcoming week

3. Any idea/action carried out

4. Reflection on what you have done this week

Use the following as a guide for writing your reflections:

- What did you do?

- What did you think?

- What didn't you do?... and what could or should you have done?

- What decisions did you make as a group?

- What did yo decide to change and what are the reasons for making the change?

- Were there any problems? How did you deal with them? What did you learn about yourself? Which skills did you use well? (communication, social, thinking, research, self management?)

- What made you happy, annoyed, frustrated, angry, nervous disappointed, proud...?

- Where are you going next?
