I wanted to share these tips because I often hear a lot of accidents occur during cycling. It's easy to get hurt on a bicycle. Many people who feel safe because they only bike in a quiet street in the neighborhood get an accident.
Indeed, if you're just scratched or broken bones can be healed, but what if your head hurt? Each year, nearly 70,000 bicyclists suffer serious head injuries. High enough, isn’t it?
I would like to invite you all start thinking about safety. Because any purpose to be achieved by cycling will be in vain if we become permanent disabled.
The first and most important tip is to use a helmet. Helm will prevent you from serious brain injury. Head injury rehabilitation is a very costly. Compared with such costs, a bicycle helmet is a good bargain. So, always wear a helmet. Look for a good helmet, made of strong material and fits your head so comfortable to wear.
The second is to obey all traffic laws. Bicycles must drive like other vehicles. Never ride against traffic or riding on the wrong side of the road. Beware when to turn, do not run zig-zag at high speed, and watch the other vehicles around you.
The third is to use your hands correctly. Keep both hands ready to brake, do not use your hands to hold mobile phone or other equipment such as walkman or MP3 player. You may not stop in time if you brake one-handed. Use your hands to tell others what you want to do, turn left, turn right, etc.
The last one is keep your bike in good condition. Maintenance and repair costs are relatively less expensive than the risk we have to suffer when the accident happened. If you feel there is something wrong with your bike, check and fix it immediately.
