Hello, bike riders!
This is a thread for RiderBag reflective backpack & spine protector giveaway participants and for an open discussion about bike safety.

How do you stay safe while biking? Can you share any bike safety tips?
Let's discuss it in the comments!


[To be safe while riding, wear protective gears such as vest/garments with reflector, knee and elbow pads, gloves and helmet. Check regularly the bike condition. Have bike lights installed (e.g. tail light and front light) and most of all check health conditions, never ride with and empty stomach stay hydrated and most of all stay focused and presence of mind. Eyes always on the road. ]

put light reflector behind on your bike, so car driver will recognize you're a bike rider
you can use light reflector on your bag, jacket or helmet also

No headphones or ear buds so I can hear all ambient noise, moderate speed when around others to increase reaction time and constantly anticipate what could happen so I know my bailouts at any given moment.

Never assume the person in the vehicle sees you.

When anywhere in the city, a flashing tail light is highly recommended.

I stay safe while biking by staying off the road! Where I live people in cars do not watch out for bicyclers.
