Hello, Now that you have decided to cycle all
the way to health and glory, let us also look at
some of the important tips that you need to be
aware as a rider so it is a happy riding every
time for you and everyone. We one of the leading

important safety tips across leisure riders,
commuters and adventure bikers. Wear a helmet at
all times Wearing a helmet is a sign that you
are a responsible rider, any time of the day,
please make sure you are wearing your helmet.
Its not the law actually, it is safe thats the
key. It also helps you buy a good one that meets
the requirement and fits in snug on your head.
Check out yourself before closing on one, because
your being at leisure is very important that you
have a free and safe head. If you are taking to
the hills or mountains, be sure to wear the
gloves, knee pads in the event of fall, this will
see you through with minor bruises. Pro tip Add
cycling sunglasses to this list, will help you
protect from bugs, stones, sun and rain.
Cleaning Oiling Given the climate has its
effect on the chains, it would be better to oil
the chains regularly or at least a day before you
are going to take out the cycle. Ideally no one
would love the creaking sound that chain gives
when you are cycling. Thats a minor distraction
that you would want to avoid. Keep the cycle
clean, it helps you see the wear and tear if any
when you do the cleaning.

to take, take precautions in terms of traffic
diversions or traffic jams, with knowledge you

without causing any problem to the other users.

and use riding app to keep track. The Puncture
Kit As with everything else there is a necessary
evil, yeah, we know, keep a puncture kit handy
and you never know when you are going to use
them. But for all you know the kit would be god
send on those ill-fated days and also get to know
how to use them efficiently. It helps you get
back on road easily. Pro tip It helps to know
how to pin up a broken chain, snap it up and get
back home riding or walk all the way. Always be
on the right speed Being on the right speed
helps you and everyone on the road, use signage
and hand signalling wherever necessary. The speed
is the one which is for the bikers on road, be at
optimum pace, you arent running a race. If you
are an early starter, please keep yourself on the
move and pace up in phases. Be mindful of lanes
and pedestrians on the road.

One step at a time This is a bit psychological,
in a way, increase distances and speed in a step
by step manner. Take time to get used to the
roads, the traffic and people as you start off.
It should not be that you take a big bite not
able to chew. This is because it affects you
mentally and physically could be tiring. The
physical strain could be little high if you go
that extra mile without getting prepared over
long run. Going in a group It helps being in a
group, you get to learn and unlearn a lot with
the bikers around. It gets you on the habit and
makes you confident, and it helps to be a part of
the group and you could change positions and keep
pace and do things together. Take professional
advice if you are keen to take up long distances.
Dont go by your gut feel. Prepare mentally and
physically for such tasks. Above are some of the
basics for beginners, and it applies to everyone,
but then as you go full throttle these will see
you in good stead, of course you will get to
learn a lot on maintenance and other things which
happens during short stints to help you during
your long distances. Will come back with more,
till then happy and safe cycling!
