RIDING AT NIGHT
Try to avoid riding at night as this adds
several risks.
Make sure you are visible to the others and
that you can also see them well. Reflectors
included with your bike are a minimal
safety device and it is recommended that
you use a proper set of lights on your
bike(Depending on where you live this
could be mandatory by the law).
Wear bright colored clothes and
equipment and always check to confirm
that people see you before attempting a
manoeuvre. Always ride defensively and
first consider that people don’t see you.
RIDING WITH FEET SECURING DEVICES
Be careful while riding with feet securing
devices such as toe-clips or clipless pedals.
Although they may help increase your
performance, there is a learning period
necessary before being able to safely use
these devices. Start progressively and adjust
the strap tightness or spring accordingly.
