In this presentation, I shared some tips and tricks on how to ride a bike safely on the road. I covered topics such as bike maintenance, helmet use, road rules, visibility, communication, and situational awareness. I also discussed how drivers could share the road with cyclists and avoid collisions. My goal was to help you enjoy cycling as a fun and healthy activity while minimizing the risks of accidents and injuries.

1. How to Ride a Bike Safely: Tips and
Tricks for Cyclists and Drivers

2. Riding a bike can be fun, healthy, and
eco-friendly, but it also comes with
some risks. Bicyclists are more
vulnerable than motorists in traffic
crashes, so it’s important to follow
some safety guidelines to prevent
injuries and deaths.

3. Before you ride, make sure your bike
is in good condition. Check the
brakes, chain, tires, and lights. Adjust
the seat and handlebars to fit your
height. Wear a helmet that fits
properly and meets safety standards.
You can also wear bright or reflective
clothing, gloves, and sunglasses to
protect yourself and be more visible.

4. When you ride, follow the rules of the
road. Ride in the same direction as
traffic, obey traffic signs and signals,
and use hand signals or blinkers to
indicate your turns and stops. Be alert
and aware of your surroundings.
Avoid distractions like headphones,
phones, or eating. Watch out for
hazards like potholes, debris, or
opening car doors.

5. When you share the road with other
vehicles, be respectful and
predictable. Ride in a straight line,
avoid weaving in and out of traffic,
and leave enough space between you
and other vehicles. Communicate
your intentions clearly with eye
contact, gestures, or verbal cues.
Yield to pedestrians and other cyclists
when appropriate.

6. When you encounter intersections,
driveways, or roundabouts, be extra
cautious. Slow down, look both ways,
and make eye contact with drivers
before proceeding. Don’t assume that
drivers will see you or give you the
right of way. Be prepared to stop or
change direction if necessary.
