Tips from a Well-Known Professional: Be Safe on Your Bike

To secure the safety of their community, most of them in the cities of the big cities, the organizers of Velomarathon have produced a series of short video recommendations. They presented by the famous cycling coach Vaidas Rimkus.

These recommendations can be seen on the Velomarathon channel on Youtube and your Facebook account. "We want cyclists to hear and see in simple terms what makes their cycling safe in the city. Wayne drops a lot of miles in the city and coaches other people. He knows what's important when cycling to the streets," said Rytis Sabas, Velomarathon's communications director.

1. Check that the bike is in good working order and that the brakes and gears are working. 2. Check that the signal lights are on and working. 3. Be sure to wear a helmet. 4. If you know that your journey will be time-consuming and dark, make sure to wear and wear a reflective vest.

1. Keep to the right side of the trail. 2. Wear a helmet - it is not known who will jump on the bike path. Even when driving slowly, injuries are painful. 3. Choose safe speed - not only for yourself but for those around you. After all, there are usually pedestrian paths near the bike paths. So it is important to be able to stop when an obstacle occurs. 4. No matter how enjoyable you are while listening to music, you need to hear what's going on. Therefore, headphones should be avoided.

2. Crossings and crossings 1. Crossings with crossings are of two types, with and without a marked cycle path. Those that are marked can be cycled. Unmarked crossings require the bike to be redone. This is for your safety. 2. When passing through a marked crossing, remember that there are pedestrians near you. They can create unexpected situations. So my recommendation is to get off the bike at all crossings. Where to go It is forbidden to walk on footpaths and sidewalks if the bicycle path is not marked on it. You must choose either the bike path, if available, or the road.
