Riding safely- tips: . 1) Become familiar with riding a loaded bike. Start to add some weight + packed panniers to your local rides to get used to the feeling + difference in riding a heavier bike. . 2) When you look behind you, there can be a tendency for the bike to veer to the side you turn your head. Practice until the bike remains straight as you look behind. Some people add a mirror to help see behind you. ... . 3) Use your gears. Finding a brisk, steady cadence + using the appropriate gears is important - to avoid knee pain, a smoother ride + overall is better for the health of your bike. Ensure your saddle is not too high or too low - your leg should be straight when you have the pedal at the six o'clock position + still maintain contact with the pedal. . 4) Good braking practice: A rule of thumb is to brake before you have to. Gradual pressure on the brakes, pumping (press - release). Avoid slamming or keeping the brakes held for longer than a few seconds at a time. A loaded bike will accelerate faster + is easier to rattle from rocks or large debris on the road - so take caution. . 5) Vehicles (especially larger ones) are always a danger to cyclists. Always be aware of oncoming + overtaking traffic. Be alert + ready to leave the road if needed. Wear a properly fitting helmet, wear reflective gear (even during the day). Bring + use good quality + bright bike lights. Bring extra batteries. Watch for slippery surfaces on roads, be aware that bright sunshine can hinder your visibility to drivers. . 6) Stay alert, be prepared + ride safely + happily. Cycle touring is amazing! Just like anything else, some preparation + extra precaution will help make it as enjoyable as it can be. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #roadbike #roadcycling #cyclistsofinstagram #roadbike #cyclingphotos #cyclingpassion #igerscycling #biketravel #lovebikes #biketouring #bicycletouring #ilovemybike #biketrip #soloride #biketime #bikerider #cyclingtours #goneriding #pedaljourneys #bikepic #lovebikes #cyclistsofinstagram #lovebikes #bikesafety #cyclingsafety @road._.cycling @biketouring @cyclingtips @bikewander @focusbikes @bike._.travel See more
