Bike Safety Tips<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When a collision between a vehicle and a bike occurs, the cyclist is most likely always injured. Staying safe is easy if you learn bicycle safety tips and rules of the road. There are resources for those who are inspired to learn more about bike safety. To illustrate, National Bike Month has been a time to showcase the benefits of bicycling since being established in 1956. Below are some valuable tips to help you start your bike safety training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Helmets<\/strong> – The first rule in bike safety is to always wear a helmet. Furthermore, wearing the correct helmet is just as important. Ensure that you are wearing a helmet that fits. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Be Prepared<\/strong> – Ensure drivers see you. Wear neon or bright clothing. Are you riding at night? Ride with lights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Ride Responsibly<\/strong> – Pay attention. Be aware of your surroundings. While riding a bike can be a lot of fun, it is a serious responsibility. Keep yourself and others safe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Follow Traffic Rules<\/strong> – Use bike lanes when available, use hand signals, and practice defensive driving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Check Your Equipment<\/strong> – Adjust your seat to ensure you are comfortable when riding your bike. Check your tires before every ride. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
