Safe Cycling:
Obviously bike riding is, like many sports and other activities in life, more dangerous than sitting at home. In setting out on a bike—whether on a short ride or on a long tour, you have decided to accept these risks.
To the usual rules of traffic and personal safety, the author adds only a few: When in doubt, walk your bike. Generally, ride far out from parked cars, and watch them very carefully (as car doors, and cars suddenly pulling out, are, in the author's experience , by far the greatest dangers a biker faces). Don't follow closely a cyclist in front of you, unless you are both used to, and competent in, pack riding. Wear a helmet. If your bike gets out of adjustment or loose, stop and fix it. Always check the road surface ahead, and glance away only momentarily; to look at sights, stop by the side of the road. Don't veer suddenly out into the road. If you become mentally or physically exhausted, stop, rest, and eat some high energy foods; feel rested before continuing.
In years of bike touring, the author has never had a security problem, or a safety problem worse than a scraped knee. While no guarantees can be given, with some care on your part, you should have a secure, safe and enjoyable trip.
