Five Tips to Protect Yourself from a Bicycle Accident This Summer

With the weather warming up outside, many will be out biking. It is important to protect yourself from a bicycle accident this summer and always with these helpful tips.

Protect Yourself from a Bicycle Accident

If you are planning on riding a bike for fun or to commute over the summer, protect yourself from a bicycle accident with these five tips.

1. Always follow the rules of the road. Even when you are not driving a car, a bicycle riding on the road is still responsible to follow the rules. Obey all traffic signals and yield the right-of-way when necessary.
2. Watch for cars and pedestrians. Bicyclists pose a threat to pedestrians just like a car poses a threat to a biker. Always be courteous to cars and pedestrians while on a bike.
3. Be visible. Wear brightly colored clothing and use lights or reflectors to be seen easily.
4. Stay in designated bike areas when possible. If possible, chose a route with a bike lane to keep yourself safe.
5. Teach your kids to be safe on a bike too. Many children will want to be playing outside and on bikes this summer. Make sure they understand how to be safe and watch out for cars.
