"A Ride of Death" Bicycle Safety Manual circa 1940s

Image

Don't let the playful, retro suburban illustrations fool you, this collection of images is a matter of life or death. Here in San Francisco, riding your bike around town can be tricky with hills, motorists, and crazy people assaulting you from all angles. Wearing headphones among the chaos is not recommended. This safety manuel doesn't include that tip (probably because headphones weren't invented yet), but read the rest and take notes so you can avoid the grim fate of these unfortunate bicyclists.

I don't know if it's just me or if everyone else
encountering problems with your website. It looks like some of the text within your

and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
This could be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen previously. Thanks
