Car Tyres Prevent Injury at Blue Ribbon Downs Cycling Event
Records show that 14 bicycle accidents occurred in New South Wales last 2009. It is important to note that ten of these accidents involved other vehicles. On the other hand, Victoria had 4 bike crashes to add to its records. All of which were also multiple vehicle accidents. Lastly QLD and SA had 7 and 2 bike accidents, respectively. Five of the QLD accidents involved other vehicles. The same can be said of the bike crashes in South Australia.
On another note, a boy of about 14 years of age recently died in Cuppits Lane, a dirt track in Sunny Corner State. The boy’s father noticed his son was missing when two of the latter’s mates got back to the camp site without him. The father found his son off the dirt road. Information from the news say the young lad crashed when he lost control of the bike. Further investigations are ongoing to be submitted to the coroner.
Based on these statistics, Beaurepaires is providing used car tyres for Blue Ribbon Downs’ One Off Cycling Event. It is the organizers’ and sponsors’ goal to ensure that the biking event goes smoothly. In lieu with making sure that the bikers’ and audience’s safety are met, the used car tyres will be placed at strategic areas of the bike tracks. It is hoped that the tyres will lessen the impact in the event that bicyclists meet with accidents.
