Bike Light Safety
Cycling is a great way to get out of the gym and stay in shape. This cardiovascular activity strengthens your leg and abdominal muscles. However, if safety precautions are not heeded, a cyclist can find himself in danger.
First and foremost, make sure your bicycle is in good working order. Pump the brakes. Ensure the chain is tightened, and check for broken or loose parts. If you are riding with a children's bike seat, be sure you have the proper kind for your bicycle. Do not attach just any seat to your bike. Also, be sure that you as well as your child always wear helmets when riding. Placing spoke guards on your bike's wheels will reduce the risk of your child's shoelaces or feet getting entangled.
Be sure to always ride with traffic. If you ride against the traffic flow, you will be in danger, and it is illegal. A collision with a vehicle would impact a cyclist harder and at a faster speed than when riding with the flow of traffic. Keep in mind that both the automobile driver and bike rider would have less time to react. Many drivers pulling out from driveways and parking lots as well as those making right turns are not going to expect to see traffic coming at them from the wrong direction. A driver may accelerate toward a cyclist without realizing his whereabouts.
Avoid staying in blind spots. When you stop, be sure to pull up behind cars, rather than beside them since a car's blind spots are located on its sides.
Brighten yourself by purchasing a headlight. Most places require a rear light when night riding. Even utilizing a light during the day helps motorists to see you. You could even invest in a light that flashes like a strobe to make yourself more visible.
By cycling safely, you make the road a safer place for yourself and others.
