If it's the sort of kids that need to be told not to hide in a pile of leaves in the middle of the street, then is it really appropriate to suggest one panel earlier that it's OK for them to go ahead and build bonfires themselves, just to be careful about it? Who exactly is the intended audience for this booklet? If it’s the sort of kids that need to be told not to hide in a pile of leaves in the middle of the street, then is it really appropriate to suggest one panel earlier that it’s OK for them to go ahead and build bonfires themselves, just to be careful about it?

It must be a global plan the bicycles have to replace people as the dominant species on the planet. Fortunately image number 13 shows us that if we spill red Gatoraid it will give us superpowers.

I guess that was the point, huh? Perhaps the title of this should be "watch the hell where you're going!" as most of these accidents could have been prevented by doing just that... ....And I agree, you never know WHERE that leaf pile is gonna end up.... :-D I was a mite disturbed at the kids sticking out from under the truck and train….

And what about the train one - although I've known a few accidents to happen on tracks - probably wouldn't be walking that close to the tracks and not hear or fell the train - The message seems to not be on a bicycle pretty much anywhere you go - Thanks for sharing with us.
