>> NARRATOR: Each year, nearly 70,000 bicyclists suffer serious head injury.
But not Bicycle Safety Legend, Ricky Thompson.
If he’s on his bike, he’s wearing a helmet. And, sometimes even when he isn’t on his
bike.
Many people think STOP signs are just for cars, but Ricky, he stops at them all. In
fact, he follows all of the traffic laws. Always aware of his surroundings, he rides
in a perfectly straight line. Earning himself the nickname, Ricky No Swerve.
>> ROGER DEWITT: “He does this thing when he is out riding on the trail. If he is passing
on the left, he hollers out “Passing to the left.” I wish more people did that.”
>> NARRATOR: Thank you Ricky Thompson for being one of the many Heroes of Bicycle Safety!
