Be carefull:
During cycling, pay attention to everything that happens around you - then you will not be caught off guard by pedestrians, vehicles, obstacles on the road or other cyclists. Vigilance - is the key to safety on the roads.
The main thing - to be seen:
Whenever cycling, especially at night, it is important to be dressed in light colored clothing or use reflective accessories to other drivers were able to see you.
For example, you can attach to a backpack reflective stripes.
Protect your head:
Wear a helmet on the size of the head, to be buttoned under the chin.
If the helmet has received a heavy blow, we recommend to replace it, even if not visible from the outside damage.
Perhaps, in this case the internal structure of the helmet lost rigidity and no longer protects the head from new lows.
Safety - it's self-confidence:
Not confident cyclists are a danger to themselves and to others.
Recommended practice - look back and sides, preventing bicycle vibrations and loss of balance.
With each trip, be confident, but not aggressive.
Maintain eye contact with the other cyclists and vehicle drivers to be caught off guard and did not present surprises.
Road traffic regulations are binding for you:
Cyclists are required to comply with the requirements of road signs and traffic regulations.
If you need to cross the road, you can use the crosswalk, but you have to get off the bike and carry it with you.
When riding a bike should keep a distance of traveling ahead of the vehicle.
Sidewalks and bicycle paths:
The law does not allow to ride on the sidewalk or on the part, which is designed exclusively for pedestrians. At the same time, it is allowed to carry a bike on the sidewalk when moving on foot, if it is safe.
If the road is allocated a special cycle path, marked by appropriate traffic sign, cyclists are required to move exclusively on it.
Be carefull:
Always pay attention to where you are - on the road or on the sidewalk.
Look ahead and keep looking in the direction of movement.
When driving past the parked vehicle, try to avoid being caught off guard by the sudden opening of doors.
If the road is narrow, then, take the center of the road.
When the group visits should go to each other, keeping the necessary distance.
