Get ready to ride
Turn on the lights
-
When the sun sets, use front and rear lights.
- Use a red flashing light in the rear and white light in front. Don’t skip the front light: It will make you more visible to oncoming traffic.
Carry loads on the bike
-
Rear bike racks allow you to carry loads on the bike rather than on you, keeping you cooler and more stable.
-
Attach a simple milk crate to the rack to use as a basket or upgrade to
a set of panniers (saddle bags).
Stay clean
-
Fenders on the bike reduce the amount of dirt and water thrown up by your tires onto your clothing.
- A chain guard protects your pants from damage and grease from
the chain.
