- My 3 year old likes this bike … I love the bue/orange color. We also bought a Diego helmet with it. My husband and I assembled it together …. and it is not that easy. We are both pretty handy … but the instructions are horrible, especially on how to install the handbreak. Next time I buy and assembled bike. –C. Pierre “Mom of 2″ (NJ)

Experience shows winds dirt bike around orange cones on training course
Border Patrol agent David Zahn’s experience shows as he winds his dirt bike around orange cones on a rocky training course. Two colleagues have a steeper learning curve, one of them stalling repeatedly and the other finding his groove after riding tentatively at first.
Zahn’s edge comes from experience; the Yuma Sector Border Patrol agent rides dirt bikes for fun. Yet he said he has a lot to learn to use the vehicle to do his job, which has him rescuing people in the rugged terrain along the Arizona-Mexico border near Yuma.
Those lessons include using hand signals to communicate with fellow riders and how to ride safely wearing the bulky backpack he carries as a member of BORSTAR, the Border Patrol’s search, trauma and rescue operation.

Children bicycling to Prairie Crossing Charter School in Grayslake, without bike helmets
Bareheaded children bicycling to Prairie Crossing Charter School in Grayslake can’t say they weren’t warned if they are pulled over starting Monday morning.
Prairie Crossing Principal Brian Greene said safety concerns led to the idea of issuing written “citations” to students without bike helmets. Charter school policy requires students to wear headgear while on a bike.
“I’d rather be proactive than reactive,” Greene said.
Greene said no one at Prairie Crossing will actively seek children without bike helmets Monday and that violators won’t lose school privileges. He said parents were informed about the initiative in a newsletter he sent today.

Sport Bike Polo: Bikes Cycle like Sharks, lithe and predatory - players a ball, a mallet
Brad Vest / P-I
Seattle bike polo players are ready to rumble under Interstate 5 at Northeast 65th Street. The hardcourt version of bike polo started in Seattle and has spread around the Northwest.
The sport is bike polo, the “urban/hardcourt” strain, as opposed to the more sedate variety on grass. All players need is a ball, a mallet — monstered together from a ski pole and PVC pipe, usually — and a
junker bike, often stripped of entangling elements like that pesky second brake and handlebar.
