Safety on the Road
Staying safe is the most important part of every ride. A few simple habits — being visible, following the rules, and staying alert — protect both you and everyone around you. Here are the essentials every cyclist should always keep in mind.
Always Wear a Helmet
A helmet is your most important piece of safety gear. Wear one on every ride, no matter how short, and make sure it fits snugly.
Be Visible
Wear bright or reflective clothing and use lights in low light. The easier you are to see, the safer you are on the road.
Follow the Rules of the Road
Ride in the same direction as traffic, signal your turns with your hand, and stay alert at intersections. Predictable riding keeps everyone safe.
