Before your trip, have your bike checked by a professional. Ensure the tires, brakes, and gears are in good working order, and carry spare parts like inner tubes and a pump.
Wear bright, reflective clothing and always use lights—both front and rear—especially at dawn, dusk, or in poor visibility conditions. Use hand signals to communicate with drivers.
Always check the weather forecast before setting off. Pack waterproof gear and avoid riding in extreme conditions like heavy rain or storms. If the weather becomes unsafe, seek shelter.
Stay hydrated, eat energy-rich foods, and take regular breaks. Listen to your body and adjust your pace to avoid overexertion.
