Here's how: YOU The safest bike on the road is nothing without a safe rider. 1) Cycle helmets are essential, as is suitable clothing and reflective gear for night riding. Lighting is even more essential for night-time riding. Always make sure that you have secured your shoelaces and the bottoms of your trousers to avoid getting them caught in your bike's chain. 2) It is important to dress for the weather as being overheated or too cold can distract you from the business at hand. Layered clothing is advisable. Good quality cycle shorts help to ensure you can still sit down after a long ride! A cycle jersey has useful pockets at the back, so that important items are close at hand. 3) If you are setting out on a long ride, make sure that you carry enough food and water to get you home comfortably. 4) Remember that low-light conditions, such as twilight or misty weather, are the most dangerous for the cyclist. A brightly coloured top or the early use of lights can make the difference between being safe and just not being seen. If you are going off-road make sure you carry a map of the local area as well as a mobile phone and try to take a buddy or two with you. more halfordscompany.com | terms of use | terms & conditions of sale | privacy … Felt Bikes • Bonthrone Bikes London • Sintesi Bikes • Honda Motor Bikes • Ridgeback Bicycles • Finger Bikes • Bicycles Edinburgh • Buying Bicycles • Rec Bicycles Tech • Cross Bikes • Bycicle • Bycicle • Speedway Bikes • Carrera Bicycles • Just Bikes • Slalom Bikes • Discount Bikes • Ideal Bikes • Fast Bikes • Action Bikes London • Raleigh Mountain Bikes • Gazelle Bicycles • Halfords Stores UK • Khe Bikes • Trails Bikes •
