Wear a Helmet
Only in the U.S. more than 6,000 cyclists need emergency care for head injuries each year. Choose a well-fitting helmet.
Start Slowly
A good training could be only to pedal about 30 minutes on flat terrain during the first three or four weeks.
Dress for Comfort
Choose comfortable clothes.
Go Bright When there is only Low Light 😉
Try not to ride at night, but if necessary, make use of the lights.
Always Use Good Road Sense
Respect all traffic signs and norms. It’s well worth while for everyone.
Be Traffic-Aware
If there is heavy traffic, ride in the lane with the cars, not to the side.
Use your Brakes Adequately
For optimal pressure, put your hands at the ends of the levers. Apply firm pressure to the brakes.
Get In Gear
Try not to pedal in high gear during long periods to avoid pressure on your knees.
Taking these simple tips into account, you’ll get more enjoyment out of biking!
