We talked about choosing a bike, health benefits of cycling, bike apparel so let’s talk today about safety which is a very important issue for all cyclists.

It is true that regular cyclists enjoy a health level equal to that of a person ten years younger. That is if cycling is safe and no accidents occur. Unfortunately not all cyclists are lucky and sometimes they get into situations where their health is irreversibly damaged. To avoid this every cyclist should know the basic rules of bike safety.

Bike gear is fine but you should know how to behave on the road and not get hit by a passing vehicle. It is advisable to have a head light and turn it on even in the daytime. When a car is pulling out of a driveway or a parking lot it’s easy for the driver to miss you. If you are wearing a bright light you will be noticed straight away. When you are passing by a parked vehicle, ride away from it in order to not be hit if a door is opened suddenly. When you are taking a turn always slow down considerably so you can stop if necessary and react to the situation in time. And lastly, never stop in the blind spot (to the right of the car), but rather stop behind the car where you can be easily seen. If you follow these simple rules you will be able to benefit from cycling in full.

Last time we talked about some safety rules of riding a bike. Today let’s talk about how bikes are good for the environment and the effect cycling eco-friendliness has on our towns and cities.

Obviously riding a bike is environmentally friendly especially if you compare it to driving a car. That is why a lot of governments today are stimulating and encouraging people to get on their bikes to go to work, the shops and even the theatre. In Ireland the government is promising monetary prizes and personalized eco friendly gifts to those who prove they’d cycled to work for the past year. Cycling makes the air in the cities fresher, reduces health risks for cyclists and lessens a carbon footprint of a given country. But as the cities’ administration are friendly to bikes they are harsher on cars especially those that are big pollutants. These cars are heavily taxed and owners get rid of them, but they don’t disappear into space. They end up in poorer countries for less money and become very popular there. So the overall situation doesn’t change since these vehicles continue to pollute the planet. This is an issue to be looked into by governments.

If you want to be super eco-friendly don’t just start cycling everywhere but buy eco-friendly gadgets for your bikes. Good luck!
