Bike safety talk

  • Wear a helmet (included in the bike rental package)
  • Hydrate - drink lots of water during the effort. Eat small snack regularly to keep your energy up. Use sunscreen regularly.
  • With other people, ride single line and keep some distance between you and the next rider.
  • Do not ride when using a mobile phone.
  • When you stop, do so well off the road.
  • Keep your speed under control when riding downhill. Pump both brakes to slow down. Remember the front brake is stronger than rear brake. For a greater efficience, brake slowly and regularly on long downhills. Control your brakes regularly.
  • Take special care on wet roads, increase your braking distance, beware of glidings.
  • Obey traffic regulations : Stop at "stop" signs and traffic lights, respect right of way and signal any direction changes, any slowdon or stop by a sign of the hand.
  • Ride as far to the right of the road as you safely can.
  • Watch out for potential obstacle on the road. Use caution when crossing railroad tracks, better walk your bike to cross them. If you decide to cross them on the bike, cross exactly at a right angle without braking or pedaling hard. Avoid gravel, potholes, pumbs and glass on the road. Go slowly over poor surface.
  • Ride at a sufficient distance from parked cars and beware door opening and cars leaving their parknig place.
  • Yield right of way of pedestrians. Do not ride on pavement street.
  • Listen carefully when you hear a vehicle coming to you. Communicate hazards to fellow riders by calling them out "car back".
  • If a dog runs after and you can not get away quickly, stop the bike and walk out of the dog's area by placing the bike between you and the dog.
  • Wear clothes appropriate to cycling trips : Wear brightly colored clothing for high visibility to car drivers.
  • Pace your self by riding at a steady rhythm. Stretching after riding can help prevent muscle soreness.
