Are there any safety tips for long distance biking?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, there are several important safety tips to consider for long distance biking. Firstly, always wear a properly fitted helmet to protect your head in case of accidents. Additionally, ensure your bike is in good condition before each ride, including checking brakes, tires, and lights. Plan your route in advance and stick to well-lit and low-traffic roads. Stay visible to others by wearing bright colors and using reflectors, especially when riding at night. Observe traffic rules and signals, and be predictable to drivers by signaling your turns. Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen to protect against UV rays. Finally, carry a basic toolkit, first aid supplies, and a phone for emergencies. Remember, safety should always be a top priority when embarking on long distance bike rides.
