Top Safety Tips for National Bike Month

Wear a Helmet
Protect your noggin by wearing a properly fitted helmet every time you ride. Look for one that meets safety standards and replace it if it's been in a crash or is showing signs of wear.

Inspect Your Bike
Before hitting the road, give your bike a quick once-over to check for any loose bolts, flat tires or other maintenance issues that could affect your ride.

Be Visible
Make yourself visible to drivers and other cyclists by using front and rear lights, as well as reflectors.

Stay Alert
Keep your eyes and ears open for potential hazards, like potholes, debris and unpredictable drivers. Avoid distractions like headphones or texting to stay focused on the road ahead.

Use Bike Lanes
Whenever possible, ride in designated bike lanes or paths. If there are no bike lanes, ride as far to the right as possible, and always in the same direction as traffic.
