View Article  Safe Rules Rule!

This list of "Safe Rules" (shown in its entirety) was posted in the 4th grade hall at LD's school.

I think adults could also benefit from these rules, especially in the workplace.

Joy Ride.

Joyride.

I did a doubletake when I saw this bike in a display case aimed at teaching the kids about conservation or exercise or something at LD's elementary school.

Or perhaps, its intention was to teach 'em young about crime.

From Wikipedia: To joyride is to drive around in a car with no particular goal, a ride taken solely for pleasure. Often, it is assumed that the joyride is done at high speeds in a stolen car, by youths who are not legally old enough to drive. See also: ramride, motor vehicle theft.

Joyriding is a misdemeanor, in violation of Section 10851 of the California Vehicle Code.

And the graphics on this teeny-tiniest of two-wheel bikes (think of those bikes that cockatoos ride in theme park shows) look like what we've been led to believe that 1970s acid trips look like, according to Ponch and Jon on CHiPs.

While it isn't as good as Hot Shoe (a commenter's bike of yore from an earlier installment), I am sure that it sounded good at the time to someone in CheapKidsBike marketing land.
