Do not forget the factor of safety in cycling. Do not say "If only to ride a bicycle does not need a safety", THAT IS THE WRONG WORDS.
Unless your head and knees harder than the soil / asphalt, you do not need security at all.
What are the safety in cycling :
- Helm, The most severe injuries in cycling is a head injury other than that the largest percentage of injuries occur wound in the head and face. Helm is a reasonable choice to protect your head and its contents. Surely not just any helmet but the helmet is certified ANSI or Snell.
- Reflectors and lights, because you are not alone on the road, it is important to "announce" your presence on other road users, especially in the dark, also to see what's in front of you in the dark,
- Rearview mirror, important to know what's going on behind you so they can anticipate things that are not desirable, especially when they want to turn or stop.
- Elbow protectors and gloves, in addition to the added comfort cycling gloves also serve to protect the hands from injury.
- Obey traffic rules.
- Do a quick check before cycling, anything that needs to be checked :
- brakes, make sure the brakes work properly.
- tires, rims and spokes, make sure the proper tire pressure to the provisions, also check the physical condition of the tires from cracking, tear, bulge.
- saddle, make sure the locks and did not move.
- check the lights and reflectors when riding at night.
