Not only does riding a bicycle reduce the number of cars on the road, but such an activity is also great exercise. However, when riding bicycles, cyclists must keep in mind that the rules of the road that apply to cars do also extend to bicycles. In many areas of the country, bicycles are subject to the same rules as other two- and four-wheeled vehicles. That includes yielding to pedestrians and obeying signage. Other rules include: ��� riding on the correct side with traf���c; ��� when turning, always using the turning lane; ��� obeying traf���c signs, lights and road markings; and ��� using correct hand signals. Sharing the road safely remains a concern for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. If bicycle riders do their part to obey the rules of the road, fewer altercations and accidents may occur. ~Courtesy of Metro Editorial MCCURRY-DECK SERVICE TEAM!

Even vehicle owners who don���t anticipate selling their vehicles in the near future should maintain the vehicles to ensure they are safe and sound. After home and work, a car is where many people spend most of their time. As a result, a vehicle can easily become soiled, scratched or overrun with clutter. Maintaining the interior of your vehicle need not take much time or effort, but it should be done often enough to keep on top of the mess. Here���s how to start. Remove Clutter The ���rst step in cleaning the interior is to remove the excess items that may have accumulated in the car. Busy families tend to leave toys, books or clothing in their vehicles. There also may be discarded food wrappers or beverage containers. People who commute also may accumulate a number of items in their cars, including business materials. These items should be sorted through and put where they belong before tackling the rest of the cleaning work. Vacuum Much of the dirt and debris that accumulates in vehicles can easily be removed with a vacuum. A shop vac will have enough power to thoroughly clean upholstery and mats. If you do not have one, visit a self car wash. Remove the ���oor mats and set them on a ���at surface. Thoroughly vacuum the mats to clear them of dust, dirt, food crumbs, and any other debris. Vacuum the ���oor of the car as well as any seat upholstery that may be a catch-all for crumbs. Using a soft-bristled vacuum attachment, you also can remove dust from the vents, speakers and the center console of your vehicle . Spot cleaning Spills and stains do occur in vehicles, just as they do elsewhere. Cleaning these stains may require a little elbow grease and a cleansing agent. Most automotive supply stores will sell an upholstery cleaner designed for car interiors. You also can use a mixture of laundry detergent and water applied with a slightly damp rag or sponge. Go over each area that is soiled so you can devote adequate time to each stain. The same process can be used on the vehicle���s carpeting. Use a brush to really clean heavily soiled areas. Leather upholstery can be more delicate than cloth upholstery. When cleaning a leather interior, use only products that are designed speci���cally for leather so as to avoid damaging the interior. Console and dashboard detailing A barely moist cloth can be used to clean the plastic components of the dashboard and consoles of the vehicle. The goal is to wipe away any dust and any minor stains or sticky areas without saturating important electrical components. It is always better to spray polish or cleaning agents on your cloth than directly on the dashboard. In hard-to-reach-areas, consider using a soft-bristled paintbrush or cotton swabs to clean in crevices. Wipe down everything with a dry cloth or towel afterward. Windows Having clean windows is essential to driving safely. Cleaning the windshield and windows is relatively simple to do with a glass cleaner spray and a lint-free cloth. Use caution when cleaning the rear windshield if it has a defogger/ defroster grid on the window. These wires can be damaged easily. Clean with the direction of the defroster grid lines. Freshen the car Place an air freshener or spray a product on the air intake vent to eradicate musty smells in the car. It also is important to replace the cabin air ���lter periodically, otherwise you could be breathing in dust and dander that is trapped in the ���lter. These are the basic steps to cleaning a car���s interior. Other detail work can be done depending on your preferences and the make of the car. Routine maintenance helps others see you have pride in your vehicle and can ensure a better return on your investment down the line if you choose to sell.
