Preparing for a Safe and Scenic Bike Ride FROM HELMETS TO TRAILS
Know your bike: Before heading out, familiarize yourself with the mechanics of your bike or e-bike. This is particularly important for e-bike renters, as these bikes can accelerate quickly and require different handling compared to standard bikes. Stay alert: Keep an eye on the road and be aware of your surroundings. This means staying off your phone! If you’d like to snap a quick photo or answer a call, pull off to the side and take a breather! Respect traffic signs: Obey all traffic signs and signals and use hand signals to communicate with drivers, pedestrians, and other cyclists. Plan your route: Before you hit the road, plan your route and check the weather. Be mindful of your limits and the park’s guidelines. Pack essentials: Carry water, snacks, a basic repair kit, and your phone in case of emergencies. After all, you never know what surprises you may encounter!
