2) Make sure you carry out all safety mechanical checks before riding the bike.
3) Mae sure you are familiarised with your bike’s brakes (Brakes section), shifter
(Shifter section) and pedals (Pedals section) and with the way they work.
4) Always wear appropriate, comfortable, bright clothing along with protective
glasses to protect your eyes from dust, dirt and sunlight.
5) Pay particular attention to avoid any contact with moving parts (gears, wheels
and chain) and also make sure not to introduce objects inside them.
6) Adjust your speed based on the circumstances. High speed may increase
accident risks.
b. Knowing and observing local regulations
Almost all countries and states have specific regulations for cyclists and you
should take them into consideration. Local cycling associations or the Ministry
of Transport (or equivalent) should make such information available for cyclists.
Among the most important riding rules we mention the ones below:
• Use correct manual signs.
• Respect traffic signs.
• Give priority.
Never pedal wearing your headphones as they might cover up the traffic noise,
distracting you from riding.
• Ride in a single row when there are other cyclists around you.
• Ride on the correct side of the road; never ride in the wrong direction.
Ride in defensive manner, in other words: try to anticipate any unexpected
events. A cyclists is more difficult to spot in traffic that a car and many drivers do
not know the specific rights and needs of the cyclists.
• Never adopt hazardous riding practices.
Many accidents involving cyclists can be avoided by respecting the common sense.
Some examples below:
• Always keep your hands on the handlebar; even the slightest road imperfection
might make your wheels wobble or the front wheel spin unexpectedly.
• Do not ride the bike with loose objects attached to its handlebar or to any other
part. They might get entangled in the wheel spokes, making the handlebar spin
unexpectedly or making you lose the control.
Never ride the bike under the influence of alcohol, drugs or when taking
medicines that make you sleepy. Riding a bike requires coordination and good
cyclists must pay attention to risks.
• Never carry a passenger on your bike. Standard bikes are not designed to carry
the additional load of a second cyclist. Moreover, the additional load will render
balancing, steering and stopping the bike harder.
c. Riding off-road
1)Off-road trails present variable conditions and require particular attention
and technical skills from the cyclist. You should proceed gradually, starting with
accessible and easy trails.
2) Respect the local regulations concerning the areas where you can practice off-
road riding.
3) Do not let children ride on difficult trails or on trails that present obstacles
without adult supervision.
d. Riding your bike in the rain and under adverse weather conditions.
Any type of brakes will be less efficient in wet conditions. Even if your brakes are
properly aligned, lubricated and serviced correctly, in wet conditions you will have
to press the brake levers harder and you will require greater stop distances; keep
this in mind.
Rainy weather causes reduced visibility for cyclists and for drivers and loss of
