1. Be Seen, Be Heard

Being seen and being heard is key to your safety while biking. Getting bike lights, accessories or even a camera to record if anything bad happens, may save your life. Remember that in most times, you are riding along cars, pedestrians and other bikers.

2. Ride Predictably

Follow traffic signals and lane markings more like you are a car than a pedestrian. Avoid sudden lane changes or swerving around your lane, and be mindful of your speed. Don't go too fast or too slow. Maintain a steady speed.

3. Signal Your Moves

 Communicate your intentions clearly with hand signals. Extend your left arm for turns, and raise your left hand with a bent elbow for stopping. Make eye contact with drivers and pedestrians for added assurance.
