Today morning as usual i was taking my bike for a ride near my house and suddenly i saw a cat cross over in front of me.

6 Top Bicycle Safety Tips For Successful Bike Commuting

1. Always Wear A Helmet
2. Be Visible  -  If you’re riding in the dark, wear clothing with reflective strips and use lights – in front, choose a white one bright enough to let you spot potholes and in back, mount a red blinker.
3. Ride Like You’re A Car – Obey traffic lights and stop signs and signal turns using your arms
4. If The Shoulder Is Rough Or Debris Covered, Riding A Few Feet Into The Lane Is Safer – Same goes when there are parked cars along the roadside.
5. The Single Most Important Skill To Master – Looking Over Your Shoulder Without Swerving – Practice in a field or empty lot using this technique. Relax your shoulders and upper body, then your head for just a second or two. It’s better to look back quickly 5 times than to peer backwards for so long that you swerve into traffic or miss something up ahead.
6. Anticipate Hazards And Obstacles – Try to notice everything up to a block ahead. Could a car come through that next intersection? Can the dog in that yard run at me? Is there a hidden driveway ahead? By staying alert, you can minimize surprises.

Just follow the 6 tips and you will have enjoyable time with bicycle and nature.
