Safety First

Riding a bicycle helps reduce pollution on the streets, and it is a healthy activity for individuals. However, being on a bike has its own risks, and safety needs to be put at the forefront. Keep in mind basic guidelines when riding a bike. Be alert, and always scan your surroundings. Be wary of the vehicles, pedestrians, and other hazards on the road. Lastly, be seen, make yourself visible to others, use your horn, utilize hand signals and lights, especially if you are riding at night.

In 2017, 485,866 accidents were reported solely in the state of California. It is therefore important to know how to proceed in case you find yourself involved in a traffic collision.
