Important Bicycle Safety Tips to Remember

  • Wear the best bicycle helmet. Honestly this cannot be stressed enough, as this is #1 in any list of bicycle safety tips.
  • Pay attention to bicycle sizing. A bike that is too big or too small for you can cause troubles. Adjust the saddle and handlebars to fit you.
  • Follow this bicycle repair manual. Bicycle gears, brakes and other parts should always be in tune.
  • Check bicycle tires, wheels and handlebars before you head out to make sure everything is tight and working well.
  • Wear cycling clothes that make you easily visible. Avoid black, grey and other dark-colored clothes, and wear reflectors if you're riding in the dark.
  • Tuck your pant legs into your bicycling socks or wear a strap if your bicycling shorts are baggy. Nothing is worse than getting your clothes destroyed while toppling off your bike.
  • Wear bike riding shoes that grip your bicycle pedals to avoid slipping. Grippe gloves are also great!
  • Avoid wearing headphones, or talking on your phone while cycling. These actions not only prevent you from hearing traffic but also distract your attention from the road.
  • Keep a safe distance from other cyclists and vehicles. Use bike paths or lanes where available.
  • Follow the rules of cycling! Read information about the road rules.
  • Always be aware of what's going on around you and be ready to stop at any time. Also keep an eye on the road ahead so you can be prepared for road obstacles and slippery conditions.

    Be aware of wet leaves, storm grates, gravel or rocks, curbs, and other obstacles
