Home Safety Tips The Basics Ride DEFENSIVELY
Ride DEFENSIVELY

Ride defensively. Watch for traffic behavior and ride as if you are invisible to other road users. That means do not assume they can see you even if you think you are highly visible. Anticipate potential dangers ahead and be prepared to react quickly. For example, when riding in the dark and wet, assume that there is a car coming out of every corner and that it is not going to see you. Slow down, look down the sidestreet and be prepared to take evasive action.

Visibility is poor in wet weather; motorists may have more difficulty seeing you. Ride defensively and increase your visibility. The single most important rule is to remain alert and be prepared for unpredictable moves or mistakes by others.
