Riding in the rain can be risky due to slippery roads. Use brakes gently and keep a safe distance. Check tire grip and brake function before riding. Wear a raincoat and use a helmet with a clear visor. Avoid puddles and reduce your speed for better control.

Riding at night requires extra caution. Ensure your headlight and taillights are working. Wear reflective clothing or gear to stay visible. Keep your speed moderate and stay alert. Use extra lighting if the road is poorly lit.

Safety First! Always obey the rules of the road. Obey all traffic signals, signs, and laws. Get in the mindset of “driving” your bike—not just “riding” your bike. This will help you be a more focused and legally compliant bike rider.

Helmets degrade over time and may lose effectiveness. Replace yours if it’s over 5 years old. Any crash, even minor, means it should be replaced. Check for cracks, dents, or frayed straps regularly. A safe helmet ensures maximum protection.

If your bike has been in storage, inspect it before riding. Check tires for cracks or low pressure. Ensure brakes, chain, and gears are working smoothly. Look for rust or damage on the frame and components. A quick tune-up or bike shop check is a smart idea.
