How safe and happy is cycling?

Nowadays, there are more and more people who are interested in cycling and fitness. The number of people who like to ride at night is also increasing. Some safety matters are necessary for the riders to understand and know.

In order to let more people know the necessary riding safety knowledge, we learn from the safety accident cases of several riders. One is riding at night without a lamp, when the rider and the car are going to the car, the eyes are instantly blind. It happened that a manhole cover on the road was stolen. The rider fell to the ground with a front flip and suffered multiple injuries. “The lights must be installed at night and the bicycle is recommended to have a red taillight.”

Another case is a corner ride. The accident happened at the corner of the mountain. The rider went out of control after entering the "hairpin bend" at a speed of nearly 40 kilometers. He even drove the car over the guardrail and fell from the height of 7 meters, resulting in a high position. Paraplegic. "For amateur riders, the speed of the turn should not exceed 35 kilometers per hour, and the curve must be designed before entering the corner."

Other safety precautions for cycling include: checking the condition of the car before the trip, especially the brakes and tire pressure, preparing a set of portable tools and inner tubes; understanding the road conditions, lighting, weather and other information of the riding route as much as possible; Bright riding clothing is good for safety; don't wear headphones, answer calls, and share photos during riding; rides can't take off your hands, ride multiple people, push each other, retrograde, occupy motor vehicle lanes; stay away from any motor vehicle; Team travel, please control the speed of the vehicle properly, maintain a safe distance, and overtake the straight line as much as possible; please gestilate the city when you turn, and wait for the red light.

For the team, you need to be "unprotected and not riding" before you travel. The team does not have to have a guaranteed vehicle, but it must have a safety officer, carry maintenance equipment, and bring first-aid medicines such as band-aid. It is recommended to put a QR code with an emergency contact number on the helmet.

Cycling is risky and has many benefits. Bicycles are one of the best tools for exercising heart function. Cycling not only promotes blood flow by leg movement, but also strengthens microvascular tissue, which helps to lose weight, prevent high blood pressure, and prevent hardening of the arteries. In addition, cycling can make you feel cheerful and happy.
