Posted By Whitley Law Firm on Aug 13, 2010 3:05pm PDT
If you are an avid biker there are a few things you can do to protect yourself. Below, we have provided some biking safety tips:
If you ride your bicycle at night you should get a front headlight. By having a headlight, drivers will be able to see you when you are riding during the evening hours.
If you are worried that drivers of motor vehicles will not see you, you may want to get a horn. Whenever a car is approaching you, you can alert them of your presence by honking.
Sometimes, you will not be able to make eye contact with a driver, so you should slow down. This may prevent a collision. You may think that it is inconvenient, but taking this step may prevent a serious bicycle accident and related injuries.
