Tips for Safe Bicycling in Congested Areas

 

You have to be careful on the highways if you're relying on deliveries to make a little extra cash. Tips for bicycling in traffic safely include the following:

 Express motorbike courier are particularly vulnerable to accidents since they are frequently cycling in and out of traffic. Always exercise extreme caution when crossing intersections and streets.

 Predictability is a virtue. Other drivers will respect your intentions if you communicate with them via hand gestures.

 Make sure you're aware of your surroundings at all times and watch out for drivers who are distracted. Because accidents do happen, it's critical to maintain vigilance when driving. When making a turn or changing lanes, don't presume that other vehicles will see you.

 If you plan on delivering in the dark, you may want to invest in luminous clothing, like as reflective vests or spoke lights.

 Make yourself more noticeable to drivers by wearing bright clothing. In the daytime, too, this can be a problem!

 Mount your phone so that you don't have to take your eyes off the road to get GPS directions. Keeping your attention on the road and on oncoming traffic is easier if you limit the amount of time you spend being distracted.

Follow the rules of the road at all times. Even though this should go without saying, it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the routes you'll be taking and the local laws and regulations before you get on your bike. A cyclist must follow the same laws of the road as any other motorist.
